What Pets Help the Heart Heal Inc does
Mission
Pets Help The Heart Heal's primary purpose is charitable. Within that context, PHTHH provides coordinated programs to assist youth, especially foster kids and youth who are homeless, to deal with emotional, psychological, and physical challenges by using the human animal bond. Our outreach programs and support services, including life skills, pet therapy, counseling, and coping skills, assist underserved and less fortunate individuals. We provide educational opportunities for youth to explore careers in the animal industry through internships, tours, day camps, and shadow programs. PHTHH establishes and engages in any other outreach activities that further the nonprofit activities of the organization.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Life of Pets and Jr Vets is our premier program. Youth are able to experience the life of a veterinarian. Each educational station provides information on careers in animal industry, animal care, household toxins, common parasites, xray interpretation, and even what happens in surgery. Puppy love sessions are also provided. Dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds are available for bonding and unconditional love. In the Life of Pets and Junior Vets 82 youth attended the program hosted by Lakeside Animal Hospital and VCA South Dade.Participants engaged in educational stations including physical exams, bandaging, CPR, suture techniques, toxicology awareness, radiology, exotic animal education, and animal wellness activities. The program also incorporated entrepreneurship, pet nutrition, and career development discussions led by veterinary professionals and community partners. These events provided youth with direct exposure to careers in veterinary medicine, veterinary technology, and other animal industry professions. Zoetis sponsored the ice cream social and Idexx sponsored the hospitality room for parents and youth.
$1,500 spentof which $2,000 as grants20% of program spendingReading with Pets: PHTHH promotes literacy by going to local organizations to read with toddlers, elementary, and high school youth. There are many benefits of reading with pets. For struggling readers, they gain confidence reading to our mascot, Max, an AKC registered sable and white collie. Our team served 329 youth in the five events provided. The Reading With Pets initiative promoted literacy, confidence, mindfulness, and emotional wellness through animal-assisted reading experiences. Youth participated in themed reading sessions, arts and crafts activities, mindfulness exercises, and positive social interactions centered around the human-animal bond. Holiday and seasonal literacy events were hosted in schools, libraries, and community organizations throughout the year. The Holiday Reading for Thanksgiving and Christmas are always a major hit. Reading with Pets is an in-demand program.

We had 439 youth and 14 events of educational sessions, workshops, and field trips. Sessions allowed them to gain a better understanding of the human animal bond. They had the opportunity to learn how animals are used in therapy sessions, stress reduction activities, and our signature puppy love sessions. PHTHH continued its veterinary shadow and mentorship opportunities for middle school, high school, and college students interested in veterinary medicine and animal science careers. Students observed daily operations within veterinary hospitals and participated in guided educational experiences related to patient care, surgery, diagnostics, and animal wellness.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $11k to $44k (+291%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $15k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 PETS HELP THE HEART HEAL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
PETS HELP THE HEART HEAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
42% 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 PETS HELP THE HEART HEAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 98% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
100% of PETS HELP THE HEART HEAL INC's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $174 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
