What they do
In 2025 We Took In 81 Dobermans and Had 64 Adoptions. Year Over Year, We Took In 10 Fewer Puppies, and In 2025 Transferred 10 Puppies Out (variance of 20), Which is One of The Main Reasons for The Lower Intake and Adoption Volume. We Predicted This Possibility In 2024. Our Limited Number of Fosters Also Impacted Our Ability to Keep Up With Previous Year Intake Numbers. We Continue to See More Behavior Case Requests Than Ever Before; It is A Known Widespread Issue Across Rescues and Behavior Professionals.We Continue to Focus On Cross-posting and Emphasizing Our Shift to Be A Networker and Connector. We Cross Post At Least 500 Dobermans Each Year. We Have Sent 24 Bags of Food. We Have Done 17 Spay/neuter or Vet Visits ($4725.92) for Community Dobermans In 2025, and Are Already Off to A Strong Start In 2026 As Well.With A Ton of Work Last Year, We Re-launched Our Email Marketing/education Program and Continued It Into 2025.We Continue to Expand Our Trainer Referral List In Alignment With

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
