Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO ACQUIRE AND TRAIN DOGS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SUCCESSFULLY UNDERGO AND COMPLETE THE RIGOROUS TRAINING THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ASSIST OUR VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS, THUS INCREASING THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND PEACE OF MIND. WHILE WE ARE BASED IN NH, WE SERVE HERO'S FROM ALL AROUND NEW ENGLAND. AS AN ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, WE HAVE DEDICATED OUR PROGRAM TO PUT EVERY DOLLAR WE RAISE DIRECTLY INTO TAKING CARE OF OUR PUPS.

  • ACQUIRE AND TRAIN DOGS THAT MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO COMPLETE FURTHER TRAINING OR PLACEMENT WITH A CANDIDATE. WE PLACED OVER 30 DOGS IN 2022, BRINGING THE 6 1/2 YEAR TOTAL TO 191 DOGS WITH VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS. WE MADE LARGE STRIDES TOWARDS BUILDING A NEW TRAINING BUILDING THAT WILL ALLOW US TO PROVIDE MORE DOGS TO MORE HEROES, AND ALLOW US TO PARTNER WITH OTHER SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER MORE DIVERSE PROGRAMMING TO BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO ALL THE PROGRESS TOWARDS A NEW BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE TO OUR EXISTING FACILITIES SUCH AS FENCING CHANGES, INSULATION UPGRADES, AND EXPANDING OUR QUARANTINE CAPACITY FOR NEW DOGS ENTERING THE PROGRAM. WE IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROGRAM IN 2022 CALLED CHRIS' HERO PETS THAT HELPS PAIR VETERANS WITH COMPANION ANIMALS FROM LOCAL SHELTERS, WHICH IN ITS FIRST YEAR FACILITATED 32 VETERAN ADOPTIONS THROUGH LOCAL SHELTERS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
