Sanctuary at Bluebird Lane
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
We are a Wyoming based non-profit dedicated to providing support, transitional services, and a loving home for hounds, burros, horses, pigs, sheep, and chickens. While we provide sanctuary for our farm and hound friends, our primary focus is our partnership with Spanish rescue organizations to safely re-home Spanish Galgos and Podencos in the Rocky Mountain Wester region of the United States. We are on a mission to spread awarness about the plight of the Galgos and Podencos in Spain and make sure we connect these deserving dogs with exceptional families of there own, by bringing them from Spain to approved homes in the Rocky Mountain West.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

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.
