| IRS990/Desc | 0 | We provide veterinary care and supplies for animals in our foster program while seeking adoptive homes. Veterinary care includes routine wellness items (e.g. parasite prevention, combo testing, blood tests, urinalysis for older animals, and dental cleanings) ; spay and neuter surgery; and remedial medical care due to illness and injury (e.g. surgery, cardiac evaluations, ophthalmology care, dental extractions). We microchip every animal upon intake to help ensure that they will be returned to either us or their adopters should they go missing. We purchase supplies (e.g. food,litter,beds,carriers,toys) used for the animals while they are in our foster care. In 2025, we found adoptive homes for 331 animals and spent, on average $304 per animal for care. |

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | Our mission statement can be viewed on our website: pbj.org/mission.html |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 5 | PBJ's mission is to bring joy to people and pets through rescue and |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 6 | adoption of homeless animals in the VA/MD/DC metro area. We do this by: |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 7 | rescuing and fostering animals from shelters and as strays, emphasizing |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 8 | often overlooked older and special needs pets; promoting fostered animals |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 9 | to prospective adopters via social media and in-person adoption events. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 10 | We orchestrate a formal adoption process to ensure placement with qualified |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 11 | loving homes and oversee adoption venues and a network of foster homes to |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 12 | care for the animals while with PBJ. We educate volunteers, adopters, and |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 13 | public at large on the importance of spay/neuter and how to humanley care |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 14 | for companion animals. Please see our website for more information. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 15 | After a preliminary version of Form 990 for the current year has been |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 16 | prepared by our accountant, this is compared against our Form 990 |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 17 | submission for the previous year so as to identify and substantiate |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 18 | significant differences, if any, between the two. The entire Form 990 is |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 19 | then reviewed first by our executive director (who is also a Board |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 20 | member),and any necessary amendments to narrative, in particular, are made |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 21 | The proposed final Form 990 is then reviewed by our two other |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 22 | officers/Board members prior to submission. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 23 | Reviewed annually with officers and key employees prior to the submission |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 24 | of our 990 return. Compliance is confirmed in writing via email. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 25 | The current Executive Director is an volunteer. Should a salaried |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 26 | Director be necessary, we would follow the process stated in 15b. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 27 | When we hire a key employee we do extensive Internet research to determine |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 28 | the fair market salary range for their position, typically we hire at the |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 29 | 50th percentile of that range. Salaries are reviewed/adjusted annually. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 30 | We maintain a publicly accessible REPORTS page on our website that |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 31 | that discloses our financial statements, tax reports, etc. |
