Mission

We are an all volunteer Organization that rescues abandoned and mistreated dogs and puppies including puppies and adult breeder dogs rescued from puppy mills. Our Organization coordinates the transportation, veterinary care, of the dogs and puppies, and provides food and housing for the rescued dogs. We have taken on the responsibility to to assure that each dog has been spayed or neutered through a relationship with several local Veterinarians to make sure that they will no longer be allowed to breed. This will decrease the amount of dogs forced to live in shelters, and possibly euthanized. We also work with the rescued dogs to socialize them and improve their adoptability, and arrange fostering and adoption of the rescued dogs. We promote public education about puppy mills and adopting pets rather than purchasing them from pet stores or over the Internet. We encourage adopting a rescue or shelter dog. From time to time we will take in a local dog needing placement in a home.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
