Overview
Mission
Nittany Beagle Rescue takes in beagles, beagle mixes, and other breeds of dogs being surrendered by owners. We also accept dogs from shelters and other rescues that wish Nittany Beagle Rescue to place the dog. We ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and altered (unless our veterinarian recommends the dog not to undergo surgery). Nittany Beagle Rescue pays for this veterinarian care if it has not already been done. Dogs we accept that need additional veterinarian care or other care are also provided for by Nittany Beagle Rescue to the best of our ability. We also help foster homes with expenses associated with fostering to the best of our ability. Dogs brought into Nittany Beagle Rescue are then placed for adoption unless the dog is not adoptable. Non-adoptable dogs are placed in permanent foster homes. Nittany Beagle Rescue continues to provide the veterinarian and other care for the animal. All programs are currently in existence.
What it reported doing in 2024
Nittany Beagle Rescue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of beagles in central Pennsylvania. We accept beagles from shelters and from owners who can no longer keep them, and we work to find them loving, permanent homes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% 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.
