Overview

Mission

Vegas shepherd rescues provides medical care to dogs in need, boarding and training for sheltered dogs and adoption services to place dogs in permanent homes. Knowing we cannot save them all, we never turn our backs on the ones we can help.

What it reported doing in 2022

Since our founding in 2012, we have adopted and rehomed more than 700 German Shepherd Dogs. Most, if not all would have been euthanized without VSR's involvement. As a small, breed specific rescue composed of volunteers and one full time employee,

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
