Overview

Mission

Cultivating a compassionate and knowledgeable community of canine care and safety while securing at-risk canines temporarily for the purpose of successfully pairing them with loving families.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided veterinary care including spay neuter vaccination and any other necessary care for more than 400 dogs.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
