Overview

Mission

To rescue abandoned, neglected, and abused animals, primarily dogs, provide necessary vet care and forever adoptive homes.

What it reported doing in 2024

We brought in 2 previously adopted dogs in 2024 and adopted out 13 fully vetted dogs, including spaying, neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. Our focus in 2024 was on providing spays and neuters to anyone who requested our help. We spayed/neutered and vaccinated 103 dogs and cats in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
