Overview
Mission
Agave Dogs rescues adoptable, homeless dogs from area overwhelmed by pet overpopulation and finds them loving, permanent homes near Portland, OR. Our dogs come from high kill shelters and off the streets of California, Texas, Alabama, New Mexico and Mexico. We focus on accepting the most needy cases where a dog is facing euthanasia or life as a stray. We target our efforts in communities where dogs are in crisis and where there is little hope of a safe, loving home and adoption rates are low. We partner with shelters and rescue groups in these areas to coordinate bringing dogs hundreds and often thousands of miles in order to offer them a better life through our adoption program. Agave Dogs Rescue accepts all breeds and ages of dogs and looks to help the underdogs. We take major medical cases and work with certified trainers on our behavior cases. Our slogan is "Giving a ruff life reason to wag again."
What it reported doing in 2024
Agave Dogs Rescue has rescued and adopted out over 1,000 dogs. We expanded our area of assistance by cultivating new partnerships with rescues in the southern United States and strengthening our existing partnerships. We partnered with Simon's Hope, a positivity based certified dog training nonprofit organization, to offer free assessment and training plans for our adopted dogs to help assist the dog's transition into their new home. Many of our foster home volunteers have attended our foster training course.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
