The Santa Fe Animal Shelter is the largest animal shelter and care facility in Northern New Mexico, serving more than 25,000 lost, stray, abandoned, injured, and owned animals annually. As an open-admission shelter, we contract with the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County to provide care for homeless and stray animals and offer resources to help families keep their pets at home.Animal Care includes sheltering, daily care, behavioral support, and enrichment, as well as adoption services and the Animal Resource Center, which provides community-based assistance, including pet retention support and rehoming resources. In 2025, the Shelter took in 3,255 animals and maintained a 94.0% live release rate.

$5,152,474 spent60% of program spendingThe Clare Eddy Thaw Animal Hospital provides accessible, high-quality veterinary services to the general public, including a sliding fee scale for income-qualified residents. The hospital offers preventive care, diagnostics, and treatment services to help families afford necessary care during times of crisis. This program plays a critical role in keeping pets healthy and at home, reducing unnecessary surrenders, and improving overall animal welfare in the community, and is supported by the CASA program. In addition, revenue generated by Thaw Animal Hospital supports the Shelter's broader operations by helping offset the cost of SFAS animal care and sustaining essential programs. This revenue stream enhances financial stability and enables the organization to reinvest in shelter services, medical care, and community outreach initiatives that directly benefit animals in our care and throughout the region.

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 2022 to 2023, from $16M to $34M (+114%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 12% · 2021 10% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

SANTA FE ANIMAL SHELTER AND HUMANE SOCIETY INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
53% 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 SANTA FE ANIMAL SHELTER AND HUMANE SOCIETY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 30% · 2019 28% · 2020 24% · 2021 14% · 2022 15% · 2023 18% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
