Overview
Mission
DC SIR is a group of dedicated volunteers whose mission is to rescue, foster, vet and train neglected, homeless, abandoned and stray Shiba Inus. It also works with owner surrenders to help keep Shibas in their current home or to foster and rehome via its extensive adoption process.
What it reported doing in 2025
Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Wellness Description. DC Shiba Inu Rescue saves Shiba Inus from puppy mills, shelters, owner surrenders, and abandonment. Each dog receives individualized care to restore optimal health and prepare them for adoption. In 2025, we rescued a significant number of dogs from commercial breeding facilities, many of whom required extensive dental procedures due to years of neglect. Our integrative wellness program includes advanced modalities such as photobiomodulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nano hydrotherapy, and gut microbiome
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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
