Animal Rescue, inc. Is a section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Our mission statement is “helping animals, helping people.” We have been dedicated to alleviating animal suffering and promoting a humane ethic through programs that mutually benefit animals and people since 1976. Our organization serves the Maryland-South Central Pennsylvania area, which includes the cities of Baltimore, MD and York, PA. We operate a no-kill shelter, or as we prefer to call it, “shelter for life” for hundreds of homeless dogs and cats on 25 acres of property just over the Maryland-Pennsylvania line in new freedom, pa and manage an on-site spay/neuter clinic.
Animal Rescue, Inc. Is a predominantly volunteer organization. We have a team of 118 volunteers and 38 employees who help to administer our programs. All of our organization’s officers and directors, including grace froelich, animal rescue, inc. ’s volunteer president & executive director, who has been responsible for administering our organization’s programs on a full-time basis for the past 34 years, serve as volunteers. The majority of our volunteers have been with our organization for many years, some for decades.
Having the benefit of so many dedicated volunteers, as well as a network of participating veterinarians who provide medical services at reduced fees, ensures a very cost-effective use of our funding dollars -- our total management and fund-raising expenses for our most recently filed form 990 tax return (fiscal year 8/1/08 to 7/31/09) were only 10. 8%. That, of course, means that out of every dollar donated, more than 89 cents goes where it should -- to helping the animals.
