Overview

Mission

The organization takes in dogs from High Kill Shelters as well as the neglected abused and abandonded. We help them become healthy with proper veterinary care. Dogs are adopted out to families. Some are trained for behavioral issues so they can be adopted into homes with no problems. We also train some of the dogs for therapy and emotional support to help veterans and civilians who have PTSD and various issues.

What it reported doing in 2025

Dog adoptions. We have now reached over 1300 dogs adopted since inception. Our largest service is to save dogs from high kill shelters and adopt out. All expenses go toward that cause

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
