“The current board members make recommendations for potential board members but utilizes a board of advisors to help with outside decisions such as lawyers; banking and at times accounting. Potential board members must be an active volunteer with animal house project for a minimum of one year and work in all aspects of the organization. We carefully vet to determine the area of expertise and their ability to contribute to the animal house project. Potential board members complete an application or submit their resume.”

“The president reviews the form 990 for completeness.”

“The organization currently does not have an executive director or any other employee, therefore, at this time there is not a compensation committee of the board of directors. However, if the need was to arise in the future that wages are paid by the organization then a compensation committee will be formed at that time.”

“Animal house project's mission is to offer comprehensive support to vulnerable animals. This includes rescuing, adopting, and facilitating access to veterinary care and food. Through dedicated efforts, innovative solutions and strategic partnerships, we are shaping a future where every companion animal finds a nurturing home free from mistreatment and hunger and receives the devoted care they deserve. We are committed to addressing the needs of at-risk animals and their dedicated families, ensuring a brighter future for these cherished companions.”

“On january 1, 2024, animal house project launched a new initiative by acquiring a pet retail store to strengthen sustainability and expand program service. See schedule o for a discussion about this new program as part of all other accomplishments (part iii, line 4d).”

“Since 2010, animal house project has operated the companion pet food pantry serving the tri-county area of eastern pennsylvania. The program provides donated pet food and supplies to families living below 200% of the federal poverty level, including seniors, veterans, single parents, medically challenged individual, and victims of domestic violence. To address declining donations, the organization acquired a pet retail store to strengthen manufacturer partnerships and ensure a stable supply chain. In 2024 with the support of 70 volunteers, the pantry distributed 90,542 pounds of pet food and 20,859 pounds of litter, assisting 3,348 companion animals. Since inception, the program has distributed over 5.4 million pounds of food and services to families, rescues, and disaster relief efforts throughout eastern pennsylvania.”

“On january 1, 2024, animal house project launched a new initiative by acquiring a pet retail store to strengthen sustainability and expand program services. This opportunity addressed declining food donations and served three purposes: 1. Establishing direct relationships with pet food manufactures, allowing the property to receive larger donation quantities for its pantries through retail purchase agreements. 2. Offering low-cost vaccines to pantry clients, rescues, and the public to support affordable veterinary care. 3. Providing kennel space to facilitate the movement of dogs north for placement into permanent homes. Two of the three goals were fully realized: manufacturer partnerships and low-cost vaccine services creating both a new community resource and revenue support stream. Through this expansion, animal house project also became the operator of a small-to medium-breed dog rescue, including puppy placements, further enhancing its mission to save lives and support responsible pet ownership.”
