Overview

Mission

To treat, care for, and find loving forever homes for the lost, abandoned, and abused dogs of Leland and unincorporated Washington County, MS that come into the Leland Washington County Animal Shelter. To financially assist low income area residents with spays and neuters.

What it reported doing in 2024

ARRF took a constant flow of dogs into our small shelter during 2023, with varying degrees of health problems. We cared for, got all required vetting for, and placed the majority of these dogs into compatible, loving, forever homes. This is quite an accomplishment, considering the fact that, before ARRF got involved with the "dog pound", most all of the dogs were pulled outside of the shelter and shot by the animal control officer. There was no care for the dogs or trying to find loving homes. The "dog pound" was a dead-end street for these wonderful creatures that were there through no fault of their own. Additionally, when funds are available, we also engage a trainer to work with those dogs that would be difficult to place otherwise. ARRF is an all-volunteer organization that works tirelessly to accomplish the set goals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
