      <Desc>Lifesaving Operations-In 2023, Animal Friends rescued 1,232 animals through transport and admissions and provided superior veterinary care, behavioral training, and shelter while finding loving homes for 1,228 homeless animals. Our live release rate in 2023 was 95%. We also improved the lives of 3,065 through Humane Society Police Officer intervention. Contributions associated with this activity were $1,351,825.</Desc>

        <Desc>Pet Retention-Provide the resources to those in need to enable them to keep their pets in their homes where they belong. In 2023, we provided 4,218 spay/neuter surgeries, bringing the total to over 172,000 surgeries since the program inception. We also provided 13,377 low-cost vaccines, 4,977 wellness appointments, and 205,222 pounds of free pet food. Without these free and subsidized services, many families struggling financially could not have afforded to provide this level of care to their companion animals and many may have faced the very difficult decision of relinquishment. Contributions associated with these activities were $268,371.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The following process is used at Animal Friends to review and approve IRS form 990, the Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, prior to filing. Once the annual audit and external financial statements are complete, a rough draft of the form 990 is constructed. The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors meets to review and discuss the rough draft. Once approved, the Finance Committtee recommends the form 990 to the Board of Directors.
