Overview
Mission
Tornado alley bulldog rescue is an organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of english bulldogs. In addition to finding new homes for our dogs, we are also very dedicated to educating the public about the responsibilities that come with owning a dog of this breed. All too often people acquire a puppy or adult dog without knowing enough about what to expect and end up finding that they cannot handle it. This is one reason why bulldogs end up homeless. We know that with proper education and support we can better ensure that fewer bulldog's end up in shelters and that those who have recently added a bulldog to their family can find a place to turn when they need help.
What it reported doing in 2024
Providing food, veterinary care, shelter, training, toys, transportation, bedding, and other necessary items as needed for english bulldogs surrendered by owners or transferred to our care by city/state shelters
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 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
