Open Door Animal Sanctuary meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
"To provide homeless cats and dogs with the highest quality of life and a second chance to find a forever family. Since our founding in 1975, we have offered hope, help and healing to more than 100,000 precious lives."
Year, State Incorporated:
1975, MO
Open Door Animal Sanctuary has been providing hope and help for animals since 1975. We serve the community by taking in stray, homeless and otherwise unwanted cats and dogs. Each Day, we provide shelter, food, medical care and most of all love to nearly 400 animals. Every animal that comes to us has a home and a second chance at life. In 2014, 972 animals were admitted to the sanctuary and 1,069 animals were adopted into loving homes. We also serve the community by offering a low-cost spay/neuter program which is available to low-income families at little or no charge. In 2014, there were 1,336 spay/neuter procedures provided. Each year, this community service prevents the birth of thousands of puppies and kittens. Open Door Animal Sanctuary was founded in 1975 by Mrs. Joan Costello-Oetting and Mrs. Carol Perkins. Had it not been for their compassion, vision and hard work, Open Door would not exist today/ and if not for Open Door, thousands of injured, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs would have perished either in the elements or at the hands of other animal organizations. Open Door Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. We do not receive any federal funding and our basic means of support comes entirely through donations. Open Door is a quality of life shelter, which means animals are only euthanized if they are too sick to be treated or too aggressive to be suitable for adoption.
