A Look Back at 2025: Highlights From Our Annual Report

May 30, 2026

Every animal who came through our doors last year had a whole team behind them. Staff, volunteers, foster families, and people in this community who decided the work mattered.

That team includes you.

Each year, we put together our Annual Report because we think it’s important that you know what you made possible. There are numbers in there, yes, but there are also stories.

Here are a few of the highlights:

  • 684 animals adopted into loving homes
  • 4,605 spay and neuter surgeries completed through our Clinic
  • 1,612 wellness appointments delivered in the first full year of our new Wellness Program
  • 208 lost pets reunited with their families
  • 22,140 lbs of pet food distributed through our Social Services program
  • 2,633 people supported through Pet Pantry and community outreach
  • More than $100,000 raised through our holiday appeal

And behind every number, a story. A bonded cat pair who lifted each other out of their shells. A ferret named Bella who was reunited with her family. A volunteer who has crocheted over 350 blankets for cats heading to new homes.

Thank you for being part of the PHS community. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to read through the full report and see everything you helped make possible this year.
