Mission

The Mary Ann Morris Animal Society, known as M.A.M.A.S., founded in 2001, dedicated to saving the lives of dogs who have fallen between life’s cracks. M.A.M.A.S. achieved a no-kill shelter status in 2008. We take in the unwanted, stray, abused, and abandoned dogs in the rural county of Bamberg, South Carolina, regardless of their medical condition. We get these dogs off the street and care for them, emotionally and physically, while searching for their forever homes. We utilize our bi-weekly transport to deliver them to their forever home, allowing them to start a new chapter and experience the quality of life they deserve.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.

Shelter Director

Ruthie Rish

Ruthie Rish has been involved with the shelter since 2007, after visiting with Bob Spinazzola, a fellow board member, and seeing the great need. She started as a volunteer and now is the shelter’s Director of Operations, Rescue Coordinator, and current President of the Board. Ruthie has seen many improvements to the shelter throughout the years – all for the good, but is saddened by the few changes the community has had with regards to responsible pet ownership. She hopes to see bigger strides in this area in the future. In her spare time, Ruthie enjoys spending time with her two children, Michael and Cam; her two horses, Tonka and Toast; four dogs – Mikey, Ray, Blake and Belle – all adopted from the shelter, and two cats – Buddy and Sunny.
