our impact
We have identified three metrics by which to demonstrate our impact, not only on the dogs we rescue, but also on their adopting families, as well as community members who access pet-related resources from us.
They are: data, reviews and success stories.
data
Our intake and adoption figures since inception in 2020. We know dogs—we are continuing to grow our expertise in data visualization. Check back for updates!
We also send monthly reports to Shelter Animals Count to be included in national aggregate data viewable through their various dashboards.
intake
Animal rescues are unique in that we hope to run out of “clients”—animals taken into our care.
Intake data reflects the volatility of the animal welfare sector as a whole. For example, data from 2021 shows the unprecedented chaos that resulted from the pandemic, as described in our origin story.
The data demonstrates our strength as an organization to meet ever-changing needs. Our forecasted intake data as of June 2025 show meeting or possibly exceeding our highest intake numbers to date.

outcomes
We’ll admit; animal rescue isn’t always easy… especially serving the at-risk dogs we prioritize. We have had some very difficult cases like newborn fatality or unfortunate circumstances leading to surrender, but…
The majority of our stories and memories are of success! We are incredibly proud of our outcomes, showing very strong adoption and retention figures.
We attribute this to the support we provide throughout the adoption process, and beyond. This includes a dedicated Facebook group for alumni with a feed full of joy, happiness, and lots of DNA test results!
Our reviews and success stories make everything worth it!
reviews
We hope everyone has a PAW-sitive experience with us (see what we did there?)—from potential and actualized adopters, donors, community partners, fosters, volunteers, to the person dropping by an event simply for puppy love.
If so, please take a moment to submit a review of us. We greatly appreciate it!
success stories
It’s why we do what we do… our most cherished output, a beautiful success story.
