Overview

Mission

To alleviate the suffering and exploitation of all animals with an emphasis on: improving the lives of chained dogs, sanctuary to formerly chained dogs in need of socialization and long-term medical care, injured and orphaned wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, advocacy and sanctuary to domestic fowl such as chickens, ducks, and geese.

What it reported doing in 2025

Chained dog outreach: change the caretaking vision and quality of dog guardians who currently chain their dogs 24/7, or whom otherwise keep their dogs outside 24/7. Free distribution of relief supplies in association with seasonal needs: straw insulation, doghouse replacements, fence construction to get dogs off chains, preventative vet care, including free spay/neuter and parasite medications and enrichment items to ensure that every dog is left better than they were when found. Conversation that supports cooperative learning and retention of dogs in their homes and out of local shelters. Through our hands-on approach, outreach continues for as long as needed with repeated unsolicited visits occurring weekly in underserved neighborhoods plagued by lack of resources and financial barriers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
