Overview
Mission
Lizzy's fund was established to offer care and comfort to senior dogs (aged 7 and older) through a multi-faceted approach; providing financial support to senior dogs in shelters and rescue groups. Our goal is to provide medical, dental, alternative (integrative) care, education, and adoptions assistance to ensure that these veteran canines get the care that they deserve and that they are adopted more quickly into loving homes. We also promote foster care; either temporary or permanent, and provide financial assistance for end-of-life hospice care when necessary. Our mission is to ensure that every senior dog is as healthy as they can be and feels loved and secure.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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
SUPPORTED - 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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
