Overview

Mission

Organization committed to raising the awareness of pet with disabilities and assisting in the adoption and care of disabled pets.

What it reported doing in 2024

We have been able to rescue 30 dogs and cats and continue to provide critical care to pets in need of orthopedics, cardiology, neurology and internal medicine. These services are costly but very much needed with the animals we rescue. The animals live in a quiet home-like setting, some will get adopted and others will live their lives out in a quiet stress free environment. We average 40 dogs and cats in our program on a daily basis. We continue to provide mobility devices for dogs in need. We measure, fit & train dogs to use wheelchairs. We also provided two hour courses to their human caretakers to direct them on how to use and place their dogs in the wheelchair.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
