Overview
Mission
The mission of underdog rescue of Arkansas is to help animals that are in danger of euthanasis in our local shelters, by helping these animals find rescue or new homes, and to educate the public about abuse of dogs and the importance to have your pet spayed or neutered.
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 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
