Overview

Mission

Muddy Paws Farm Rescue provides a loving forever home to farm animals who are neglected, abused, bound for slaughter, or otherwise need a new forever home.

What it reported doing in 2025

Farm animals were rescued, given a new forever home. All new and existing farm animals were given appropriate food, shelter and medical care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
