We are a pug dog rescue serving Northern Illinois. We help pugs that are in need by providing medical care and working to place them in adoptive homes.

As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. We are a pug dog rescue serving Northern Illinois and the surrounding areas. We rescue pugs, provide them with love and medical care and sometimes training and work to get the pugs adopted into forever homes. Our other expenses are the basic running of the rescue which mainly consists of medical care for the pugs but we also have website expenses and pay the Illinois Department of Agriculture annually to maintain our shelter license which is required even though we operate fully in foster homes and do not have a shelter site. Our other assets include merchandise inventory, mainly tshirts and sweatshirts, that are in storage as well as some pug equipment such as crates and pens that mainly reside in storage too. Rent is for our storage unit.

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.
