What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Senior Large Breed Dog Adoption Program
We have an excellent reputation with shelters throughout California who will contact us if there is a stray or surrendered dog that needs to be rescued and placed. We have a rigorous adoption process which includes a detailed 7-page application, a home visit, vet reference checks and personal reference checks. The dogs who are not adopted remain at our sanctuary, in foster or hospice homes.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
