What Boarding for Rescues & Animal Welfare does
Mission
Providing low cost boarding for rescue groups; dedicated to improving the lives of animals; rescue, and re-home those who have been abandoned; promote responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals, and work toward ending animal overpopulation through education and a variety of programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Low-cost boarding for rescues - due to the overpopulation of abandoned, neglected, and/or abused companion animals in our society today, a low-cost boarding is detrimental to providing alternative care and rehabilitation for those unable to be fostered in your American household due to the severity of abuse, neglect and the sheer number of those animals in need. In 2024, we were able to assist 644 abandoned dogs and cats from the Gulf Coast Area, with 658 being our own rescues along with servicing 5 other animals by boarding, rehabilitating, socializing, training, and providing medical needs. It is imperative that each of the rescued dogs goes through the proper care, training, and rehabilitation needed to prepare them for a future life with loving families. Each dog is assessed and matched with a compatible playmate to help with socialization. They graduate up to supervised group play with other dogs. Each dog's private room and belongings are cleaned, sanitized, and maintained multiple times a day to ensure a healthy, safe, loving environment.
