What Hope 4 la Pawz does
Mission
Rescue companion animals from the la paz area of the baja peninsula; rehabilitate them; and find loving, permanent homes for them in mexico, the us, and canada. Provide education to the public concerning the proper care of companion animals and assist in reducing the overpopulation through spay/neuter clinics. The goal is to work with people in the local community who rescue dogs and foster them in their own homes. We provide food, veterinary care, supplies, and support while we find permanent homes for these animals. This is not a shelter in the traditional sense. Rather we empower local rescuers who make the best advocates in their neighborhoods for more humane treatment of animals. By their example they educate friends, family, and neighbors about proper animal care including spay/neutering to reduce the numbers of unwanted animals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Cross-border rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption support Hope 4 la Pawz, a u.s.-based nonprofit, works in close partnership with voluntarios por los perros de la paz, a.c. (also known as amigos de 4 patas), a registered mexican nonprofit in la paz, baja california sur. Together, the organizations rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned dogs, with support from a dedicated network of community rescuers known locally as rescatistas. Throughout 2025, Hope 4 la Pawz directly funded veterinary careincluding consultations, surgeries, medications, and spay/neuter servicesfor dogs rescued and fostered by amigos de 4 patas. The u.s. Charity also managed adoption outreach and transportation for dogs placed in homes throughout the united states and canada, while actively supporting the increasing number of adoptions taking place within mexico. In 2025, 96 dogs found permanent homesthe same number as the previous year. However, for the first time, a majority (74 dogs) were adopted within mexico, and 22 were adopted in the united states and canada. This represents a dramatic shift from 2024, when 38 dogs were adopted in mexico and 58 were adopted abroad. This shift is the result of…

This program brings free weekly sterilization (spay/neuter) campaigns to underserved neighborhoods, where access to veterinary care is limited or unaffordable. Each clinic provides spay/neuter services along with core vaccinations, deworming, and parasite preventionall at no cost to pet owners. The program is inclusive of both dogs and cats, addressing a growing concern about the stray cat population in la paz. To receive free vaccines and preventive medications, pet owners must agree to sterilize their animal. This approach improves the health of individual pets while tackling the broader overpopulation crisis at its root. Education is also a key component, as owners receive guidance on proper pet care, vaccinations, and disease prevention. The bienestar program has been met with strong community interest and participation. Hope 4 la Pawz funds medical supplies, surgical materials, and staffing costs, while amigos de 4 patas coordinates logistics, outreach, and volunteer support at the local level. As the…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $60k to $109k (+82%).
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.
85% of HOPE 4 LA PAWZ’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $66 → $70.
3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
HOPE 4 LA PAWZ leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 HOPE 4 LA PAWZ.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
100% of HOPE 4 LA PAWZ'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
HOPE 4 LA PAWZ runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 3,315 animals nonprofits its size.
