Overview
Mission
To rescue, heal, and protect dogs in need by providing sanctuary, care, rehabilitation and pathways to loving forever homes.
What it reported doing in 2025
During 2025, we fostered and cared for approximately 30 dogs. We transported hundreds of dogs to medical facilities, other rescues, and forever homes. We provided ongoing sanctuary for over 16 other dogs. We helped facilitate multiple dog adoptions. We provided street feeding to homeless at-risk dogs and cats.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
