Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To help American Eskimo Dogs in need of rescue.
To reduce the population of American Eskimo Dogs in shelters, humane societies, and in rescue.
To promote education to the general public regarding the problem of unwanted American Eskimo Dogs and how to prevent it by discouraging indiscriminate breeding.
To protect American Eskimo Dogs from abuse and cruelty.
To prohibit any American Eskimo Dog from being adopted or released for the purpose of research or experimental use.
To operate as a functional rescue organization that will take in and provide the proper shelter, veterinarian care, socialization, rehabilitation and placement into caring and responsible homes.
To network with other rescue organizations (pure-breed and all-breed) to draw attention to American Eskimo Dogs in need of rescue when we are unable to take them into our rescue (due to resource constraints or other concerns).
To cooperate with local and state laws in every state with their activities related to the rescue and care of American Eskimo Dogs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We list dogs that are available for adoption on our own website, Petfinder, Adopt-A-Pet, and on AllPaws.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have approved foster homes in several states throughout the country. We help other 501c3 rescue groups with home visits and transport.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have run several successful fundraising/sponsorship campaigns in 2018 to raise funds for medical expenses.
