What For Pets Sake Rescue does
Mission
At For Pet?s Sake Rescue in Long Beach, MS, our mission is to provide stray and abused animals with a safe haven where they can heal, learn to trust, and prepare for life as cherished companions. We are dedicated to carefully matching each animal with the right adopter, giving them the best chance at a forever home where they will never be misplaced again. For Pet's Sake Rescue was established in 2019 in Long Beach, MS. Each year, our intake increases by hundreds of animals. For Pet's Sake Rescue helps Harrison County, Hancock County, Jackson County and George County. Our focus is on transporting animals out of the South to help reduce the overpopulation issue and the continued circulation of animals within the MS Gulf Coast.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Our transport program coordinates the safe and humane relocation of animals from shelters and rescues (including For Pet's Sake Rescue animals) in the South to approved adopters in the Northeastern states. Transports occur every 2-3 weeks. In 2025, For Pet's Sake Rescue was able to transport 383 animals out of the Southern states.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $16k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time

For Pets Sake Rescue leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 For Pets Sake Rescue.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 73% · 2022 57% · 2023 98% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
For Pets Sake Rescue's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
