Overview
Mission
It is the mission of, love from louie, to remove dogs that are suffering physically and emotionally inside the shelter system and provide them with complete medical care and a nurturing home environment to heal and rehabilitate before being placed up for adoption. Love from louie also accommodates several dogs annually that are deemed "hospice," dogs with veterinary oversight and the necessary medications to provide a comfortable and loving final life chapter.
What it reported doing in 2024
Love from louie has become a trusted resource for many other animal welfare organizations, especially county operated facilities in the state of Michigan. Love from louie has developed a reputation for taking on dogs that have been deemed unadaptable or unable to survive in an incarcerated setting due to injury, illness, or advanced age. Love from louie often provides extensive, lifesaving veterinary care for dogs that would otherwise not survive. Love from louie averages approximately thirty medical interventions annually. Dogs that have made a medical recovery, or dogs that can maintain a comfortable quality of life if supported medically with veterinary supervision, are placed up for adoption. We accept owner- surrenders on a case-by-case basis.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 92% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
