Overview

Mission

Rescue & rehome Ridgeback canines

What it reported doing in 2025

Displaced & abandoned Rhodesian Ridgebacks were rescued, transported to foster homes, vetted, fully evaluated and then placed in permanent homes. 102 dogs were rescued & rehomed

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 98% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
