What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Finding good homes for the animals in our care and returning lost animals to their families are our biggest goals. We make sure animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption and up to date on vaccinations. We also microchip all of them prior to adoption and we share our petlists on many websites.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Finding good, permanent homes for our animals.
Returning lost animals to their families.
Altering animals so they don't add to the problem of overpopulation of pets.
Educating the public on proper care, the importance of vaccinations, and spay/neuter.

We use social media to help identify lost or found pets and return them to owners. We share with the public tips for finding a lost pet, tips for finding a home for their pet using the Re-Home link to Adopt-A-Pet on our website, and our adoption counselors spend a lot of time with clients discussing how to socialize their new pet and introduce it to other pets in the household. Our Human Education committee makes appearances at the schools and on television to promote our mission.

We are all volunteers who love animals and want to give them the best chance possible at a happy life. We work hard to raise funds to pay for their medical needs and to operate the shelter. Working together as a team of more than 200 individuals who dedicate themselves to the mission, Parma Animal Shelter has had a lot of happy endings. We have a small building and our rooms are tinier than we'd like but we make it work. Each year we strive to do better. We are ever hopeful to make improvements in the building. We are always looking to improve our policies and procedures by learning from new ideas. We are enthusiastic, always, and determined to do our best for our animals.

We have been making improvements to the shelter to enrich the experience for our animals. Recently we created large exercise areas that can be used year round outdoors for the dogs and created climbing walls and cubbies for the cats. We set up bird feeders outside the windows so the cats could watch the birds while they spend time in the exercise room.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
