Overview

Mission

Our organization is dedicated to fostering strong partnerships between dogs and handlers providing comprehensive training programs and offering ongoing support for their roles in service therapy or other working capacities. We prioritize the well-being and effectiveness of these partnerships by tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of each team. Through our organization we aim to enhance the quality of life for both the dogs and their handlers while ensuring they can excel in their designated roles within the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Throughout the year our organization hosted three public competitions that showcased the talents of handlers and their canine partners. These events were open to the public providing a platform for participants to demonstrate their skills and build a community around a shared passion for working dogs. Furthermore we coordinated a prestigious event at a national venue that brought together club members and teams from various countries to compete on an international level. This gathering not only fostered friendly competition but also promoted camaraderie and collaboration among dog enthusiasts worldwide.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
