At Animal Samaritans, we champion compassion and respect for all living creatures, with a primary focus on dogs, cats, and the humans who love them. We view dogs and cats not as mere animals, but as family members. As their guardians and custodians, it is our duty to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats.

We believe adoptable, homeless dogs and cats deserve a chance at life and to live in a loving home, and we support this ideal through animal rescuing, animal sheltering, and pet adoptions. We believe the bond between people and pets is healing, both emotionally and physically, and we provide canine companionship to residents of local nursing homes, rehab centers, and area hospitals. We believe stewardship of our animals is not innate, but learned, and we educate the pet owne

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
