Overview

Mission

The mission of Doodle Dandy Rescue is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome Doodle dogs in crisis so that they are adoptable into save and loving homes in Texas. We strive to be a rescue leader in our community by implementing best practices in the treatment of dogs in our care. We live and work by our motto: Be Kind, Work Hard, Save Doodles

What it reported doing in 2025

Foster Care Expenses: Each dog is placed with a caring Foster to prepare them for forever homes. Fosters provide food, grooming, enrichment activities and care until they are adopted. Fosters are responsible for ensuring the dogs keep their vet appointments and administering medications as needed. We had in our care 491 dogs in 2025.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
