Barks of hope is dedicated to improving the quality of life for animals on the island of puerto rico. We work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, transfer and re-home the animals in need. We also provide food and medical assistance to low-income families that are striving to provide care for their pets. We will also transport animals to the airport for transfer to other rescue groups and rescue homeless animals off the streets.

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

SUPPORTED - 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.
