What Blue Waters Dog Rescue does
Mission
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in need. Our focus is on rescuing and rehabilitating animals. We provide the full curriculum of care for each dog rescued, This includes: shelter, food, spaying & neutering, chipping, foster care, necessary medical evaluations & treatments through licensed veterinarian services, medications when needed and professional training to prepare them for adoption. Then we find them forever homes. We have a determined group of volunteers who have dedicated their hearts and souls to our mission of rescuing and rehabilitating. Therapeutic value animals have on someone's life is often overlooked. We help people who have been affected by addiction to find new hope through love and companionship with our one of a kind Foster Care Program. Our rescued dogs, while preparing for forever homes, are fostered with qualified residents that are recovering from substance abuse, mental health issues and addiction.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $4k to $5k (+21%).
