In 2024, droh rescued 59 dachshunds and dachshund mixes (14 puppies, 43 adults, and 2 seniors). An additional 3 dogs were returned to droh under our lifetime commitment policy.

Droh covered veterinary costs until adoption. Veterinary and direct dog care expenses accounted for 85% of all organizational spending, averaging 1,132 per dog. Droh successfully placed 59 dogs into permanent adoptive homes in 2024, with 3 additional adoptions finalized in early 2025. A network of 87 approved foster homes (7 of which foster regularly) provided safe and supportive environments where dogs received medical care and…

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 2023 to 2024, from $155k to $380k (+145%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
32% 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 DACHSHUND RESCUE OF HOUSTON.

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.
