What Paws Unite People Inc does
Mission
Our mission is simple. We support animals and the people who love them when they need it the most through our animal welfare and humanitarian aid programs. We assist shelter, abused, and neglected animals in finding their purpose in life through rehabilitation and training. We help the people who care about them when they need us whenever we can. We believe in helping cats and dogs get a second chance in life. Through their interactions with people, they can bring hope to others. Our goal is always to help animals and the people who love them. There is always hope, all is not lost. One at a time, we strive to make a difference. The Beatles were right "Love is all you need." Our goal is to create programs designed to benefit both people and animals in their daily life interactions. We strive to help both animals and people when they need assistance. We believe both human and animal alike deserve help and a second chance. We support animals and humans in their time of need.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
P.U.P. 2nd Chance Program Luna's House Rehab Center: The goal of the 2nd Chance Program is to foster, rehabilitate, and train shelter cats and dogs. Candidates will be selected by our trainers through evaluation. They will be put through a rehabilitation and training program, and learn how to be the best pet they can be. We will help them find their purpose in life, whether it be as a therapy animal or a beloved family pet. We will work to find the animals permanent homes once they have completed the program. Luna's House is Paws Unite People's Rehabilitation Facility and is designed to benefit both people and animals in their daily life interactions. We believe both human and animal alike deserve assistance and a second chance. We had a Dog and Cat Rehabilitation Center open in East Patchogue, NY and moved that Facility to East Setauket in March 2025. Cats and Dogs are not kept in cages, they live in an open environment. We have special need adults come visit and work with the cats, we train our therapy animals there, and we use the space to rehabilitee abused, neglected, and shelter animals.
$85,000 spent77% of program spendingP.U.P Outreach: P.U.P. For Life:Our humane education program feature lectures and discussions which create a focus on responsible pet care and humane treatment of animals. In schools and with youth groups - Teaching children compassion toward living creatures from an early age; they can become positive role models in their community and home. In the community - Though our years of experience, we have noticed that most abuse and neglect cases started because of lack of knowledge or lack of funds. By creating a presence in a community that the residents feel they can trust, you can break the cycle of abuse and neglect in an area. Teaching people how to properly care for and train a pet, giving them access to low cost veterinary care and spay and neuter, and providing pet food when needed helps better both the animals and the communities quality of life. In situations where education of the owner will not change the animals' quality of life, we offer the option to assume ownership of the pet so it does not suffer. In most cases that isn't necessary and we are able to work with the pet owner and leave the pet in their original home. P.U.P. Abroad: We are currently working with the…
$20,000 spent18% of program spendingP.U.P. Patriot: The P.U.P. Patriot program trains Veterans to assist shelter dogs in their training as they achieve therapy dog status. Those Veterans and their dogs will then visit VA Hospitals, Hospitals, Nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers bringing a little hope to those who need it most. Veterans suffering from PTSD will go through an additional program, so the dogs will be able to help them cope with their disorder.
$5,000 spent5% of program spendingP.U.P. Families/ P.U.P. Abroad/Rescues Helping Rescuers: We believe families should stay together. Through this program, we will provide assistance to pet families in their time of need so they can stay together. All too often pets are surrendered to rescue groups due to lack of training knowledge, a natural disaster, or a financial set back. Whether is be a temporary fostering during a natural disaster, rent assistance or vet care coverage during a personal economic crisis, or training to help the pet better adapt to the home, we will make sure pets and their families get what they need to stay together, happy and healthy. We believe the people who love animals need support too. We are currently providing assistance to all the former animal shelter staff members and their families who were supposed to make it in to the airport prior to the end of the withdrawal. There are 169 people in our group. We have been able to evacuate 93 so far, and have 76 people still in Afghanistan waiting to move while we secure more funding. We are continuing to work to evacuate the remainder that want to leave and are continuing to liaison with the US State Department and attorneys to document the…

The 4 programs described on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $110,100.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2k to $383k (+20834%).
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.
100% of PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 5 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $21k → $63k.
4 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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 PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 16 of 17 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
PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
36% 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 PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 46% · 2019 100% · 2020 54% · 2021 73% · 2022 38% · 2023 32% — 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
29% of PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 41% 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
PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC draws 87% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $122k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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
PAWS UNITE PEOPLE INC's funding base is broadening — from 5 funders to 7 as grant income climbed.
