Our finances are public record. You may go to Guidestar.org and view our tax returns or come visit and ask to see them. If we are out at an event, we keep them on the table in a binder that has all of
our financial records. We do not hide anything.
If you come into our home you will see that the animals come first. Our washing machine is broken, the couch is in pieces (literally),
the refrigerator has a broken door, up until 8/9/2010, we did not even have working AC in the house this year. The garage door hasn't shut in a year
(that probably drives the neighbors crazy). Your donations go to the animals at 100%. Our money goes to the animals at 75%.
WE pay all the electric, water and other land expenses and do not ever charge those expenses to the rescue. WE pay for 90% of the support for these animals every year. Our tax
records are accessible by the public. If you don't want to research them, please give us a call. We actually keep them in a binder for public viewing and they are displayed at any
event we are set up at. All board members names, addresses, and
credentials are also displayed and available to the public.
We also have our Secretary of State credentials, our State Wildlife Rehab permit, State non-profit certificate, IRS 501(c)3 certificate,
and current certificate of exsistence on public display when
we set up. We are open our home to these animals and to the public to view them.

The account is under Julie Saylor-Hammond Spoiled Acres Rescue Inc.
We almost always owe them money!

To trim everyone on the property the cost is $740.00 every 8 weeks.
We purchase his allstock. He is aware of which feed we purchase and can help you with your donation. He also sells hay and we purchase some from time to time. John knows how to get a hold of us if you want to purchase from him and have us pick it up.
They have become a Purina dealer so we will be
purchasing our Purnia Senior feeds from them. We also purchase the dogs Diamond lamb and rice there. We have to have lamb and rice due to the sick dog having allergies.
We purchase beet pulp from them right now. We used to purchase all of
our feed from them, but with gas prices, it is just too far to drive. We haven't used them in a while, but they have always been very nice to us. If gas prices would cooperate, we would love to use them.
The horses loved their feed.
