HSTJ is a private, volunteer organization. It is a Mexican "Asociación Civil" and receives no financial support from the government. It is supported solely by its volunteers and private donors. It has no paid employees and administrative costs such as office space, storage, telephones, computers, printing, postage and US mail box rental are paid for personally by the directors and volunteers. Thus, all donations go directly to pay for animal care such as veterinary care, medications, flea and tick control, parasite treatments, special hygiene needs and special foods when food donations run low. HSTJ is a non profit organization, chartered in Mexico and has the tax status of a not-for-profit-civil association. Visit HSTJ Here.
