What Augusta Dog Adoptions does
Mission
As a charitable and benevolent non-profit, non-stock corporation, we function to provide shelter for companion animals, promote the welfare of companion animals through rescue and rehabilitation, to seek to place such animals with persons suitable for caring for the same, to secure veterinary services on behalf of such animals, to euthanize such animals in a humane manner if they, for any reason, cannot be placed in permenant homes in accordance with (section 18.-221) of the code of virginia, and to do generally any and all lawful acts necessary or proper to carry out this purpose which is generally to prevent cruelty to animals and to relieve suffering among them.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2025, Augusta Dog Adoptions saved 190 dogs, and 4 homeless cats as reported to the virginia department of agriculture. Thanks to a generous grant from the community foundation of the central blue ridge at year end 2025, we were able to offer low cost spay/neuter services to 127 owned cats and dogs in staunton, waynesboro, and augusta county in calendar year 2025. Since this program began in 2020, we have assisted 1,120 pets. The need for drastically reduced spay/neuter costs in our area is staggering and we expect the need to increase due to the rising cost of veterinary care. We are continuing community spay/neuter services in 2026 in hopes of reaching more people and pets in need.
$0 spentIn 2020 Augusta Dog Adoptions was awarded the "compassion award" from the va federation of humane societies for our work in patrick county, va. Beginning in 2017, ada has had a partnership with the patrick county public animal shelter (pcpas). Since may of 2017, ada has transferred in 688 dogs from the pcpas, slashing their euthanisia rate by 50% in the first seven months alone. We originally reached out to pcpas in 2017 after discovering they had the third highest euthanasia rate (42%) in the state of virginia. We are estatic to report that by year end 2017, their euthanasia rate droped to 21% and to 13% in year 2018 and 2019, 6% in 2020, and .03% in 2021 as reported to the va dept of agriculture. Patrick county public animal shelter expanded their transfer partnerships to include other rescues throughout the state, allowing Augusta Dog Adoptions to rescue dogs in danger of euthanasia from 12 other virginia public animal shelters.
$0 spentMany of the dogs Augusta Dog Adoptions accepts into our foster program are left behind by other rescues because they are considered "unadoptable or difficult to adopt. We are often the last resort for large mixed breeds, hounds, pit bull type dogs, and senior dogs facing eithanasia at public animal shelters throughout virginia. Donation to Augusta Dog Adoptions allow us to provide care each individual dog needs. We then off to the public a healthy, fully vetted dog that is now safe from euthanasia and ready for adoption at an affordable fee. This encourages adoption and decreases the purchase of animals online and at pet stores. Since 2007, over 5,426 dogs have been saved. Augusta Dog Adoptions does not have a physical shelter. We rely on the kindness of foster homes and exist solely on donations and adoption fees.
$0 spent
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $132k to $163k (+23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
82% of Augusta Dog Adoptions’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $14k → $41k.
5 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Augusta Dog Adoptions’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Augusta Dog Adoptions leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
68% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Augusta Dog Adoptions.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 62% · 2020 47% · 2021 36% · 2022 37% · 2023 49% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
50% of Augusta Dog Adoptions's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
64% of Augusta Dog Adoptions's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $108k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $194k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
