What Shaw Pit Bull Rescue Inc does
Mission
Our goal is to provide abused, abandoned or homeless pit bull dogs with the medical attention they need; as well as the love and attention they deserve to heal - both emotionally, and physically.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Shaw Pit Bull Rescue, Inc.s primary program is providing lifelong sanctuary, medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption services for abused, abandoned, or neglected pit bull-type dogs. The organization operates primarily as a sanctuary, committing to care for each dog for life unless a suitable adoptive home is found. No dog is euthanized for space or time constraints. In 2025, the organization did not intake any new dogs but continued to provide comprehensive care for 22 resident dogs. This included veterinary treatment, spay/neuter maintenance, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, daily feeding, behavioral support, and enrichment on-site. Three resident dogs were successfully placed in responsible homes.

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 2022 to 2023, from $85k to $103k (+21%).
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.
99% of Shaw Pit Bull Rescue Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28k 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.
