See Schedule O for additional information. false false 1047126 339222 In 2025, our fourth full year of operations, we rescued 895 neglected, abused and/or unwanted animals from an uncertain and likely tragic fate and found homes for 841 animals to give them their much-deserved second chance at true happiness. During this period, we took on many severe medical cases where animals had no chance at any quality of life, or even a life at all, without a rescue determined to find a way to pay for surgeries, hospitalization stays, and rehabilitation. We continue to establish and grow relationships with local veterinarians and spay/neuter clinics, significantly grew our volunteer and donor base and with the addition of instore cat habitats in Petco and PetSupermarker, we expanded our cat rescue and adoption program. Our social media presence on Facebook and Instagram continues to grow and allows us to highlight our mission, our challenges, our accomplishments and most importantly, our animals. 1047126 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false FL X Dana Bursch 6306501849 470 S Heathwood Dr Marco Island FL 34145 X Sherri-Lee Mercuri President 60.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Thies Vice President 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dana Bursch CFO 60.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tina Johnson Co-Secretary 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Howard Co-Secretary 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 8526 672842 42889 681368 Adoption Program 900099 338442 338442 Sales of Merchandise 900099 780 780 339222 1536 1536 19443 8526 18418 1025 1025 Settlement from Turf Di 900099 10000 10000 10000 1033151 350758 0 1025 X 102611 102611 7849 7849 115158 115158 560 560 2722 2722 111084 111084 1734 1734 5580 2604 1631 1345 122132 122132 480 480 42399 42399 35068 35068 12383 12383 Veterinary Exp & Medical Sup 356619 356619 Animal Food and Supplies 78288 78288 Kennel and Cleaning Supplies 26102 26102 Transport Grooming & Boardi 21461 21461 30625 22977 536 7112 1072855 1047126 14550 11179 85631 211104 125000 422631 259272 4961 2055 17072 21964 1161459 50640 58089 1110819 713384 1605214 33257 55812 10875 10943 5435 903612 44200 975734 X 669184 629480 669184 629480 713384 1605214 -39704 0 X false false false X 29662 286865 371370 541319 681368 1910584 517 4426 780 5723 19256 106198 219136 338047 338442 1021079 48918 393063 591023 883792 1020590 2937386 12059 21370 37164 38924 128533 238050 12059 21370 37164 38924 128533 238050 2699336 2 1536 1538 2 1536 1538 10422 11025 21447 48918 393063 591023 894216 1033151 2960371 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 510996 510996 542490 12329 530161 20729 16166 4563 44081 9081 35000 43163 13064 30099 1110819 Whiskers Wag 27969 8526 19443 8560 872 4786 3770 430 27969 8526 19443 8560 872 4786 3770 430 18418 1025 Dana Bursch CFOCo-Founder Bridge loan property 903612 903612 false true true 903612 Supplemental Information for Schedule L A bridge loan was initiated as our project needs county approval prior to proceeding with building a new kennel facility on the property. It did not make financial sense to get a conventional mortgage until the project is approved. If approval is not granted, the property will be sold and the loan repaid with the proceeds. If approval is granted, the loan will be either satisfied via a capital campaign or via conversion to a traditional commercial loan. The organization is paying the interest on the loan at the exact rate/amount being levied on the line of credit by the bank.
