What Peace of Mind Dog Rescue does
Mission
Peace of Mind Dog Rescue is a resource and advocate for senior dogs and senior people on the Central Coast. We find homes for dogs whose guardians can no longer care for them and for senior dogs in shelters.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Peace of Mind Dog Rescue Veterinary Clinic provides veterinary care for the adoptable dogs in our foster/adoption program. The dogs receive an exam, senior blood panel, parasite screening, urinalysis, any xrays, ultrasounds, biopsies or other diagnostics needed. They then receive any necessary treatment, surgery, or a referral to a specialist as needed. The clinic also serves our Helping Paw clients (homeless or low income pet guardians) on a limited basis.
$1,196,904 spent$322,768 earned by the program57% of program spendingAdoption Program: POMDR takes into our care dogs from animal shelters and dogs from guardians unable to care for them. Each dog gets an exam with a veterinarian including a senior blood panel, xrays and other diagnostic procedures as needed, spay/neuter and any other treatment or surgeries as needed, vaccinations and microchip. The dog is then placed in a volunteer foster home, put on our website and advertised as adoptable. The dog goes to adoption events in the community until he/she is adopted to a permanent family. We then follow up several times per year to keep track of how the dog is doing in his/her new home. POMDR has rescued 4,299 dogs in need since from October 2009 through December 31 2024. We have approximately 100 dogs in foster care at any given time.
$667,243 spent$78,746 earned by the program32% of program spendingHelping Paw Program - Our Helping Paw Program provides physical assistance for people who need help caring for their dog. This may include volunteers walking the dog, transporting to a vet, groomer, or boarding, or providing temporary foster care for the dog. The goal of this program is to keep dog and guardians together for as long as possible and to prevent dogs from being surrendered to a shelter. Our Helping Paw Program also provides financial assistances needed to individuals who need financial help caring for their dog. This may be used for veterinary care, boarding, training or supplies and is paid directly to the service provider. POMDR has helped 3,177 helping paw clients keep their dogs since October 2009.

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 2017 to 2018, from $3.0M to $3.9M (+29%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 4% · 2021 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
72% of PEACE OF MIND DOG RESCUE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $111k → $593k.
15 of 72 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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
PEACE OF MIND DOG RESCUE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 57%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% 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 PEACE OF MIND DOG RESCUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 30% · 2019 49% · 2020 57% · 2021 57% · 2022 36% · 2023 33% — 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.
How long its funders stay
44% of PEACE OF MIND DOG RESCUE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
82% of PEACE OF MIND DOG RESCUE's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $957k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
