Less than 1% of our annual budget comes from any government-funded source. Fees for our adoption, community veterinary care, and other services are highly subsidized and often waived, accounting for approximately 20% of our budget. Remaining support for our vital work is provided by compassionate people who wish to make a difference for animals and are able to do so in partnership with the league.
