Rescue Dogs and find them permanent adoptive homes

What it reported doing in 2025

Hands, Hearts and Paws is a Foster Home based dog rescue. Dogs are rescued from kill shelters and placed in a foster home. Our foster homes accommadate dogs with different needs. While in rescue, dogs will receive vaccinations, preventative health care & medication, training and socialization. Every dog goes to their forever home after being microchipped.

Operating model

Revenue model

Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
