What they do
LASSIs Primary Annual Service to Oceana County Residents Involves Offering Emergency and Regular Medical Assistance to All Dogs and Cats At The Oceana County Animal Shelter That Require Veterinary Attention. Many Potential Adopters Cannot Afford Crucial Medical Treatments Like Heartworm Eradication or Fractured Limb Repair. Stray or Surrendered Animals Often Require Basic Care for Issues Like Ear Infections Minor Wounds or Tooth Extractions. While The Oceana County Government Offers What It Can Certain Veterinary Procedures and Medications Exceed Its Budget. LASSI Steps In to Provide Additional Care That Surpasses The Countys Financial Capacity. In 2025 The Oceana County Animal Shelter Took In 590 Animals In A County With A Population of Approximately 27,000 Citizens. LASSIs Veterinary Care Program Helps All Dogs Cats and Citizens In The County By Serving As A Safety Net for Animals That Come Through The Shelter and The People Who Care So Much About Them.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
