Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Pets come first is a 501c (3) non-profit, non-euthanasia organization. Our mission is to facilitate the placement of stray and unwanted animals into loving homes. We are dedicated to ensuring responsible shelter management within our community, working together to eliminate the critical overpopulation of homeless, stray and abused animals. Educating our community on the importance of spaying and neutering all animals will decrease the number of surrendered and unwanted animals to area shelters and rescue groups. We work in partnership with other rescues, local & state police, humane officers, and dog law enforcement officers to provide monetary and voluntary resources to support and sponsor local animal programs within our community. We will offer emergency placement, food, and medical services for the pets of approved and responsible low-income families and senior citizens.

To provide support for and monitor animal shelters.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is not considered a private foundation. The organization accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. Management has determined that there were no tax uncertainties that met the recognition threshold at december 31, 2024 and 2023.”
