Overview

Mission

To reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs in Eastern Iowa and beyond through a foster to forever home program. All animals are placed in foster homes, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dogs are heartworm tested, medical care is provided if needed. These things are done before the animals are adopted to forever homes. In the year 2025, approximately 307 dogs and cats were placed into their forever homes through our foster-based rescue.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
