Overview

Mission

To rescue, shelter, rehabilitate and place abandoned, neglected and abused dogs. Additionally, through the use of public forums, to encourage the spay/neuter programs currently in place in California and to encourage quality care of the canine population.

What it reported doing in 2025

During the reporting period, the organization rescued 8 dogs and successfully placed 5 into permanent homes through its adoption program. The dogs received comprehensive care including feeding, medical attention, spay/neuter procedures, vaccinations, microchip identification, and behavioral training and rehabilitation, ensuring each animal received proper treatment to prepare them for successful placement into permanent homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
