What Florida Urgent Rescue does
Mission
To rescue urgent animals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
FUR Urgent Transport Program helps rescue animals in emergencies, including numerous hurricanes and natural disasters. We completed multiple rescue missions on the ground in Ukraine; in Antakya, Turkey after the devastating earthquake; in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian; and in Kentucky after the deadly tornado. In every emergency, we help animals and people. Many big shelters get help from large national organizations, but small rural shelters are often overlooked and forgotten. FUR coordinates the logistics, arranges vet care, and manages the transport for smaller shelters. FUR also conducts non-emergency transports to partners in shelters where there is greater demand and lower supply, thus relocating animals to shelters and rescues where they can be safely adopted.
$167,909 spent40% of program spendingVeterinary Services: FUR provides all veterinary services necessary to ensure the dog or cat is healthy when they are adopted. We pay for spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchips. We also pay 100% of the heartworm treatment costs for heartworm positive dogs, and we pay for numerous specialty surgeries and procedures for sick and injured animals. We also rescue senior dogs with special challenges. Veterinary expenses are our single biggest epense, but this investment allows us to save lives of urgent dogs or cats who otherwise wouldnt have a chance.
$130,859 spent31% of program spendingFoster & Adoption Program: FUR pulls dogs and cats from kill shelters and other urgent situations and places the animals in foster homes to give them a chance to decompress, get them veterinary care, and prepare them for adoption. We typically have 50-60 animals in foster homes at any one time. While in foster care, FUR pays for all veterinary expenses, as well as other incidental expenses as required. We purchase food, collars, leashes, crates, and other items needed to assist the foster families to care for their foster animal. We also purchase flea and heartworm prevention for the duration of their stay in the foster home. Because the animals are living with a foster family, we know a lot more about their temperament and personality, and we can use this information to help find a perfect match with the adopter. Part

$5,167 spent1% of program spendingSave Our Strays: FUR introduced this program in 2017 as a new intake diversion program to rescue stray dogs and cats, get them vet care and move them into foster homes. We were already assisting other rescues and private individuals in trapping or recovering stray dogs. FUR has trapped many long term strays. Animal Control Officers dont have the time to dedicate to trapping difficult to locate animals. Our rescues run from a few hours to several months.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $82k to $129k (+57%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
95% of Florida Urgent Rescue’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $525 → $113k.
10 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Florida Urgent Rescue’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Florida Urgent Rescue leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 60%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
84% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Florida Urgent Rescue.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 65% · 2019 83% · 2020 71% · 2021 60% · 2022 57% · 2023 38% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
33% of Florida Urgent Rescue's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 32% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
71% of Florida Urgent Rescue's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $158k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 15 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $382k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
