Overview

Mission

FARR is an all volunteer rescue group dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted and neglected dogs, focusing on retriever breeds and giant breeds. We pull from shelter euthanization lists, provide shots, spay/neuter, provide any medical including surgeries needed and find permanent homes. We work as a network of foster homes, dogs are not kept in a shelter while with our organization.

What it reported doing in 2016

Vaccinations and medications. Most dogs received have never had vaccinations and many come with infections including heartworm disease, ear infections, kennel cough, parvo and other numerous illnesses. We obtained discount medications to ensure all animals were properly vaccinated and medically fit prior to adoption.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.

  • High — Sustainability: Total-asset coverage ratio scored 18/100.
  • High — Grant Readiness: Automatic revocation: this organization had its federal tax-exempt status automatically revoked.
