Overview

Mission

Animal Rescue, shelter, & education center for dogs.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 we took in 110 dogs: 80 strays, 22 owner surrenders/seized dogs, and transferred 8 dogs from other rescues. We adopted 49 dogs, 55 dogs were reclaimed by owners, and we transferred out 5 dogs to other rescues.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
