Overview

Mission

Organization takes dogs out of high kill shelters, gets the dogs health care and promotes the dogs online to find suitable homes.

What it reported doing in 2024

The mr. Mo project works with high kill shelters all over the country to get senior and special needs dogs out of the shelter and into loving forever foster homes. Once the dogs are in the foster homes, the mr. Mo project will cover all of the veterinary care for the remainder of the dogs life unless he or she is adopted out of the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
