HEART OF TEXAS PARTNERS IN ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES HOT-PAWS
EIN 84-3303881
What they do
WE ARE WORKING to ACHIEVE NO-KILL STATUS for ALL ANIMAL RESCUES and SHELTERS IN A FOUR COUNTY REGION of CENTRAL TEXAS (LIMESTONE, FREESTONE, NAVARRO & LEON COUNTIES.) IN ADDITION to TAKING IN STRAYS IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE BEEN RESCUING DOGS FROM LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS IN THE REGION, PROVIDING NEEDED MEDICAL CARE & VETTING (SPAY, NEUTER, SHOTS, WORMING, FLEA CONTROL, HEARTWORM TEST & PREVENTION). SOME of THESE DOGS ARE LONG-TERM RESIDENTS of SHELTERS and MANY ARE CANDIDATES for EUTHANASIA. SOME ARE NEWLY RESCUED VICTIMS of A HOARDING or FIGHT SITUATION or PUPPIES DUMPED ON THE SIDE of THE ROAD. WE ARE IN A RURAL AREA WITH LIMITED RESOURCES to HELP CARE for THESE ABANDONDED and ABUSED DOGS- THE NUMBER of OUR RESCUES FAR OUTPACES THE ABILITY of THE PUBLIC ANIMAL CONTROL to KEEP. WE SAVE THEIR LIVES. WEVE THEN BEEN ABLE to GET THESE DOGS ON TRANSPORTS to NO-KILL SHELTERS IN AREAS of THE COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING to ADOPT THEM IN STATES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $100.00 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

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.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
