Overview

Mission

B-Squad Dog Rescue is a volunteer-run organization that networks to relocate unwanted, abandoned, injured or abused dogs from unfortunate situations to the safety of rescue within our own program or via transport to trusted partner rescues. We focus on evaluating each dogs needs, provide high-quality vet care, and loving foster home to help dogs heal both physically and emotionally while we work towards finding them a permanent forever home. We also collaborate to educate about the importance of animal rescue and responsible pet ownership.

What it reported doing in 2020

The organization has been able to grow this year with increased donations we have been able to resuce more dogs and get them to their forever homes as well as helping to spay and neuter to control the population.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
