These come from the organization's own tax return. There may be a good explanation; ask the charity.

What it says it does

Our organization specializes in the rescue of special needs and homeless dogs in Eastern Europe. We save dogs in the most dire situations- unwanted puppies and adult dogs in high kill shelters, injured dogs who have been victims of cruelty and neglect, dogs who have been thrown out to die from exposure in the streets, and many others. We have successfully treated many different types of special needs dogs, including blind, deaf, partially paralyzed, and mobility impaired dogs. We also fund vaccination and sterilization efforts for many street dogs. All of our dogs are cared for and loved by our wonderful and extensive foster network before being placed with loving families both locally and internationally.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
