What Miris Haven Senior Dog Rescue does
Mission
Miri's Haven is an all-volunteer, foster-based 501c3 senior dog rescue dedicated to the rescue, care, and adoption of senior dogs into loving, forever homes throughout Maryland, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia. We are run entirely by dedicated volunteers and do not receive any public funding. Funding is derived entirely from fundraising and donations offered by individuals and local organizations who believe in our mission. We are committed to helping the animals of our community and acting as a voice for the most vulnerable senior dogs. Dogs welcomed into Miri's Haven receive all necessary veterinary care, not excluding those dogs most medically needy. Our dogs are then placed into safe, loving foster homes where they continue to receive love and veterinary care until adoption. For most, we seek and arrange perfect placement in a permanent home, however, others will remain in our care as a sanctuary dog.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Rescue Senior Dogs from Surrounding Shelters and Families in Our Community- Miri's Haven Senior Dog Rescue focuses on saving senior dogs (typically aged 7 years and older) from euthanasia or abandonment by rescuing them from area shelters and families in need across our region. In the reporting year, we rescued and provided intake care for 155 senior dogs. These dogs were removed from potentially life-threatening environments and transitioned into safe foster homes while receiving needed care and evaluation. This program alleviates strain on municipal shelters and provides a compassionate alternative for families unable to continue care.
$0 spent0% of program spendingSpay and Neuter All Dogs Prior to Adoption To support responsible pet ownership and control the pet population, Miris Haven ensures that 100% of all dogs are spayed or neutered before adoption. During the tax year, we successfully spayed or neutered over 100 dogs in preparation for permanent homes. This program reduces the risk of unwanted litters, supports long-term community animal welfare, and helps adopters avoid future medical costs associated with reproductive health.

Miri's Haven addresses all urgent health needs including vaccinations, microchipping, dental cleanings, and necessary treatments for infections, arthritis, or chronic conditions. In the reporting period, 155 dogs received full medical evaluations and care, including 150 dental procedures and 90 microchips implanted. These services improve adoptability, extend the dogs' quality of life, and provide adopters with healthy, ready-for-home companions.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $13k to $29k (+127%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $416 → $53k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 94% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
MIRIS HAVEN SENIOR DOG RESCUE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 MIRIS HAVEN SENIOR DOG RESCUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 90% · 2023 77% — 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.
Where its funders are
94% of MIRIS HAVEN SENIOR DOG RESCUE'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 $11k that is directly attributable, 91% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $163k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
