What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Companion Pet Food Pantry
Animal House Project operates several companion pet food pantry events to distribute donated pet food to: seniors and retired military vets living on a fixed income; single parent families; families facing life threatening medical diagnosis and bills; families that are still recovering from the recent recession. The criteria that we use in our determination is the 200% Federal Poverty Level.
Between 2013 and December 31, 2022, Animal House Project donated over 5 million pounds of food.
Rescue Pet Food Pantry
Since 2016, Animal House Project has been helping grass root rescues by providing donated pet food and supplies. Smaller groups are overburdened with Veterinary bills and since post COVID the cost of pet food has skyrocketed. When larger donations are received, Animal House Project has vetted small organizations who receive help from us. Between 2016 and 2023, we have helped well over 300 rescues obtain much needed pet food. All of the food has been donated by larger pet food manufacturers.
Spay & Neuter Services
In Partnership with various Clinics, Animal House Project offers spay/neuter services to our companion pet pantry clients.
SafeHaven Animal Rescue Team
No matter how hard we try to keep companion pets at home, there are just times when we cannot and we are these animals are being surrendered to high kill shelters. It is especially difficult when large breed dogs are in these facilities as they are tagged to be the first ones to be put down. Many of the dogs who are rescued come from owner surrenders to high kill shelters; domestic violence calls and/or direct owner surrenders. We currently lease a ranch in Texas and 90% of our dogs are kept at this facility. We have a high rate of adoptions.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Every year, Animal House Project is growing. Whether it be in the programs that we offer or the service area that we covered. In 2016, we opened a Rescue Food Pantry where struggling rescues could apply and receive donated pet food for their groups and from that date to 2020, we were receiving enough food to support those efforts. Unfortunately, larger organizations stepped in, and our large donations have dried up. We coWe are continuing to look for We are looking to expand our overall footprint by helping human food pantries receive and donate out pet food to their clients. We are looking for property in Texas to build a Rescue/Rehabilitation and Sanctuary for Large Breed dogs; expand our Spay/Neuter services and offer low cost veterinary services.
We also need to look for additional grants to fund our spay/neuter program and set up a low cost vaccination clinic.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Application for Various Grants to continue our Spay/Neuter Clinic; Application for Grants to purchase the truck.
Contact pet Food Manufacturing Company; Pet Supply Chains.
Continue to recruit Volunteers who can take on more tasks and responsibilities to insure the growth and stability of the overall organization.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
A lot of the Volunteers that are part of Animal House Project bring a tremendous amount of experience in knowledge from all walks of life to include fundraising; grant writing; social media; marketing; supply chain management; inventory management and control; administration; negotiations with large corporations and of course dealing with the media.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have come a long way since the transition between the founding member - Nina Frangieh to now and it is evidenced in the amount of animals that we are now feeding from 750 companion pets to 4000 companion pets to include cats; dogs; rabbits; ferrets; fish; horses; donkeys and birds.
