01What it does

What Paws in the Panhandle Rescue and Adoption does

Mission

Committed to the rescue and adoption of animals from shelters, reducing the euthanasia of adoptable pets within our community. Using community resources, we will provide and support an adoptive friendly no-kill shelter for rescued animals while they wait on their adoptive homes.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Organization has purchased a permanet shelter and kennel area at nearly $1,000,000 that will allow the organizaiton to increase substantially its ability to rescue and protect pets from being euthanized at local government shelters. It has allowed also a place for those to bring their pets than can no longer care for them. The affordability and enormous cost of the shelter relies upon the organizations ability to board pets to be able to pay for and maintain the facility. The organizaiton will now be able to increase significantly the ability to find owners for these pets.

  3. Our thrift shop raises funds towards the maintenace and expansion of our permannet shelter through the sales of donated goods. The no-kill shelter for rescued animals is one of our major achievements as an organization. The shelter has allowed us to rescue more animals and keep animals for a longer period of time while looking for homes for them.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
