Overview

Mission

Our rescue mission is the rehabilitation of bulldogs and bullies. Our passion is to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness through advocacy, education and rescue efforts.

What it reported doing in 2025

The majority of revenue comes from dog adoption income (225,704), donations (86,714), and miscellaneous income (3,281), which consists mostly of cash back bonuses and credits from banks and credit lines. Expenses are largely driven by veterinary expenses of 279,587 and pet supplies of 13,333. Remaining expenses are attributed to insurance, advertising/promotional, board and training, and office/general administrative expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
