What New Beginnings for Merced County An does
Mission
New Beginnings for Merced County Animals non-profit organization is dedicated to helping the animals at the merced county animal shelter as well other locations in merced county. We do not have a facility. Animals are housed with individual foster families in the area. Our primary focus is helping to reduce merced county animal shelter euthanasia rate by providing transportation for the animals to various rescue organizations. We also take animals with medical issues out of the shelter and arrange for veterinary and foster care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 $524k to $944k (+80%).
