Overview
Mission
Harts board is comprised of houston-area people who have long been active in dog rescue, and who want to make a difference in outcomes for stray dogs and those surrendered to local shelters. The new endeavor will have foster-based rescues, and we will also augment our capability to save dogs with a kennel-based system to be built on a beautiful property in tomball.rescued dogs will be fully vetted and, when ready, adopted out on-site at the facility, or through meetings with fosters. Hart will also coordinate with shelters in the northern u.s. To find homes for dogs that arent adopted locally. Additionally, hart will provide information, education and community advocacy to improve animal welfare, via adoption, training, and fundraising events, visits to schools, and through social media. The facility is being designed for efficient sanitation and maximum comfort and socialization opportunities for the dogs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Hart rescues mixed breed dogs from local shelters that are placed on the euthanasia list. They are moved to the hart facilities where they are spayed/neutered, given updated shots and treated for any medical conditions. They are also trained and provided care until they are adopted or transfered to another rescue.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
