What it reported doing in 2024

Adoptions - A no-kill animal shelter that rescues dogs from kill facilities or unsafe conditions and rehabilitates and rehomes in safe environments through adoptions. In the calendar year of 2023 A Doggie 4 You took in 301 dogs adopted out 258 returned 6 dogs to their owners and transported 5 dogs to out of State rescue groups or homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
