[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is a lot of money in animal rescue.[/b] You can look up the financial records of a lot of non-profits that are in the NOVA area and see how much money....

[b]It is a business don't forget.[/b] [/quote]

Are you saying the people who run rescues are making a nice living from it? (I just need to know how divorced from reality you are)[/quote]

Just gonna leave this right here: https://www.lostdogrescue.org/about/finance/[/quote]

This shows that the amount they "made" on adoptions was about the same as the amount they spent on direct animal care (a little more in '22, less in '21) not counting other expenses like insurance.

That is, they did not make a profit on adoption fees.

Is there something in the financial statement that you find objectionable? Just the fact they have assets (from donations) they are not using to make dogs free to adopt?[/quote]

They pay their head $88K.  I run a non-profit and don't get paid.  [/quote]

I assume that's the person's full time job, and $88k is not a high salary in this area. Being a non profit means you aren't making profit driven decisions: it doesn't mean you don't pay your staff.

This is an organization with real estate (kennels), vehicles, volunteers who need to be screened, and live animals that require care indefinitely and could bite. You expect someone to run all that for free on their evenings? Imagine the outcry if a person or animal was hurt from lack of oversight. [/quote]

Look at their financials. That should not be a nonprofit. [/quote]
