Overview

Mission

The current focus is to aid individuals and families struggling with hearing, physical stability and sight impairments, ptsd, anxiety disorders or autism spectrum-related needs. Additionally, we equip dogs to school systems that are benefitting from the presence of therapy dogs in the daily life of children. We also continue to find safe homes for abandoned and neglected dogs.

What it reported doing in 2025

In addition to operating a dog rescue, the organization participates in a dog training program. We accept qualifying rescue pups to be trained to aid individuals and families in overcoming difficulties they incur throughout their day to day living.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
