Overview

Mission

Foster based dog rescue for boston terriers of any age, gender or condition across 13 states

What it reported doing in 2025

MABTR takes in homeless bostons into a foster based program. Expenses are from medical care, pet supplies, travel expenses to moving he dogs, and any other needs the foster parent require to provide proper care of the dog while in foster care. Foster care is to rehabilitate them and provide full vet care prior to adoption. Expenses are covered by adoption fees and fundraising which includes cash donations. We rescued 278 bostons in 2025 We also have a palliative care for hospice 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 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
