What Topanga Animal Rescue does
Mission
Topanga Animal Rescue is a registered 501c3 non-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to providing immediate medical field triage and transportation for wounded and abandoned animals in the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Fernando Valley area and to reach out to provide free medical care for the animals of the homeless in LA County and assist needy seniors with their animals. It is our mission to bring dignity and respect to all actions involving animals and the people who interact with them. In 2025 we were a part of the response to the Palisades fire Fire which burned 40 homes in Topanga and impacted wild life and the isolated elderly many of whom were not evacuated.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $20k to $3k (−87%).
