Overview
Mission
To humanely capture stray and abandoned dogs and get them safe from injury or death. If no owner is found we work with fosters or other like minded rescues who will care for them until they are rehabilitated and ready to be adopted into a new home. We make sure all dogs are spayed neutered vaccinated and microchipped. We also educate our communities as to the importance of spay neuter and provide assistance where and when we can.
What it reported doing in 2025
Rescued a number of stray and abandoned dogs finding them homes and the right medical attention
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 79% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
