Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of Bully Up Rescue is to rescue abused neglected ill injured and or otherwise unwanted dogs and rehabilitate them. We ensure each dog we rescue receives the necessary medical veterinary care spay neuter monthly prevention and necessary training. Our end goal is to place each rescue into a permanent safe and loving home.

What it reported doing in 2024

Adoption Program: Bully Up Rescue takes into our care dogs from animal shelters owner who are unable to care for their dogs cruelty cases stray dogs found by the general public or otherwise abandoned dogs and our knowledge about each dogs prior veterinary care or health status is often limited or unknown. Each dog Bully Up Rescue takes in gets an exam with a veterinarian parasite screening and is placed on monthly heartworm flea tick prevention and any other diagnostic procedures as needed: spay neuter and any other treatment or surgeries as needed vaccinations medications microchip nail trim as needed teeth cleaning or extraction and any other treatments as needed emergency treatments or surgeries as needed tumor biopsy or removal and any other treatment as needed routine maintenance check-ups. The dog is then placed into an volunteer foster home placed on our website and social media outlets and advertised as adoptable. The dog goes to adoption events in the community until he or she is permanently adopted by a family. Bully Up Rescue makes every attempt to keep a close relationship with adopters following up several times per year to keep track of how the dog is doing in their new home and hosting a quarterly pack walk where adopters and the general public can come to socialize their dogs and check in. Providing each rescue dog with proper veterinary and medical care ensures a healthier and happier life and permanent adoption placement. Nineteen dogs received veterinary care determined by their individual needs prior to adoption in 2024.

Operating 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
