Overview

Mission

Our primary mission is to rescue, feed, vet and then adopt out stray and unwanted dogs in Lincoln and surrounding parishes.

What it reported doing in 2023

In 2023 we took in 185 dogs and adopted out 162. All dogs received vaccinations, veterinary care for injuries and illnesses and were either spayed/neutered or adopter given free voucher to accomplish.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
