Which entity is funded by donations?

• A. Animal Control
• B. Spay and Neuter/Adoption
• C. Humane Society
• D. Both Humane Society AND Animal Control

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how organizations get their money. The Humane Society operates as a nonprofit charitable organization that relies mainly on donations from the public, along with memberships and fundraising efforts, to fund its sheltering, adoption services, spay/neuter programs, and education. This donor-supported model contrasts with government-run areas like Animal Control, which are primarily funded by tax dollars through city or county budgets (and may supplement with fees or fines). Spay/neuter and adoption programs within shelters can have multiple funding sources, but the entity most fundamentally funded by donations is the Humane Society.
