Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $84,476 Revenue: $30,048

ADOPTION PROGRAM: ALL ANIMALS ARE FULLY VETTED PRIOR TO ADOPTION. ADVERTISING IS DONE MOSTLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. POTENTIAL DONORS FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION THAT IS REVIEWED BY BOTH THE ANIMAL'S FOSTER AND THE ADOPTION COORDINATOR. WE VALIDATE THAT ALL ANIMALS LIVING IN THE HOME OF THE POTENTIAL ADOPTER HAVE BEEN FULLY VETTED. WE ALSO VALIDATE THAT THE LANDLORD IS AWARE OF THE ADOPTION AND THEY APPROVE OF THE ANIMAL. WE MEET WITH POTENTIAL ADOPTER TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CURRENT PETS GET ALONG WITH THE NEW PET. WE THEN COLLECT THE ADOPTION FEE AND FOLLOW-UP A WEEK LATER TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL.
