Overview

Mission

Rescuing and Rehoming German Shepherd Dogs

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, we rescued 57 German Shepherd Dogs of sound temperament and found 37 dogs permanent homes with qualified adopters. All dogs resided in foster homes, received veterinary care (were altered, vaccinated, & microchipped), were given ShepHeroes and WAG id tags, and registered with Finding Rover prior to adoption.

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 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
