Overview

Mission

Provide homes for abandoned dogs and spay neuter services to prevent overpopulation of dogs

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided free spay neuter services for owners who could not otherwise afford to procedure--approximately 575 dogs

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

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
