Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Because of foreclosures in California, an overwhelming amount of dogs are being surrendered to shelters. Bully breeds are the first to be euthanized if no one adopts or rescues them. Since over 1 million “pit bulls” are euthanized in the United States yearly (statistics provided by Best Friends Society, Kanaab, Utah), the service provided by FBR is critical for the Central Valley which has one of the highest rates of euthanization in the whole of California. (statistics provided by CCSPCA).

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Since its founding in May 1, 2008, FBR has rescued over 2,500 dogs. At our shelter, we house over 40 resident dogs at all times. Some rescued from the community, from abusive homes and county shelters where they were designated to be euthanized.

Fresno Bully Rescue works hard to find responsible, loving homes for the dogs in our care. Through social media, online presence and community events we find homes and volunteers.

We have strong online presence through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also rely on a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers to help us achieve our mission.

IN 2018 FBR SAVED 209 DOGS AND HAD 214 SUCCESSFUL ADOPTIONS. WE ATTENDED 30 EVENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE ADOPTION AND RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP.

WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS WITH THE HELP OF APPROXIMATELY 60 VOLUNTEERS WHO GIVE OF THEIR TIME TO HELP CARE FOR THESE DOGS.

IN 2018, FBR PROVIDED SPAY AND NEUTER ASSISTANCE TO 27 FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.

Director

Bridgette Boothe

Bridgette has always had compassion for animals big or small. Growing up with many pets around the house was the norm in her family. When she became a first time bully owner herself, she began to experience the bad rap that the breed gets. Wanting to help advocate for this breed she began volunteering at FBR. Walking dogs and spending time to make a difference in their lives. With a BA in Graphic Design and Marketing, she felt that her skills and talents could benefit FBR by helping the dogs get more exposure. After developing the new website and other innovative ways to communicate to the public, she was invited to join the board.
