Overview
Mission
Beach Dog Rescue of Costa Maya Mexico, Inc. was formed with a single purpose - to help end the suffering of homeless dogs in Costa Maya, Mexico. Tens of thousands of homeless, starving, sick and injured street dogs struggle to survive on the streets of Mexico. There are very few governmental services for street dogs. They continue to reproduce exponentially. Treatable, contagious diseases are widespread as a product of being unvaccinated. Their suffering is enormous, heartbreaking and preventable. Our purpose is to provide the means to eliminate as much suffering as possible. Through public donations and grants, the organization is able to fund spay/neuter clinics, vaccinations and medical treatment by local licensed vets. Beach Dog Rescue provides temporary housing in our shelter/sanctuary until dogs are healthy enough to be transported to US or Canadian non-profit rescues, where they will ultimately be adopted into loving homes.
What it reported doing in 2025
Vet Care - We help dogs with vet care in two ways. First, through partnerships with low-cost vets, we sponsor emergency and routine medical care for homeless dogs and dogs with low-income owners. Street dogs are susceptible to diseases, being run over and intentionally hurt by humans. We are often the line between life and death. Low-income owners often love their pets but struggle to afford basic care such as vaccines and parasite treatment. We love to help people who love their pets. Second, we provide all dogs that come into our care with complete vet care before they are put up for adoption - including but not limited to: spay/neuter, blood analysis, 4dx testing, fecal and transmissible disease testing, heartworm treatment. Street dogs are often very ill, and we prioritize their health.
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 99% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
