Transparency
Clear information about our nonprofit status, services, limits, and use of support.
Organization information
Legal name: Second Leash
Tax status: 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization
EIN: 33-3031631

Mission
Second Leash provides temporary foster care intended to protect the bond between people and their dogs during incarceration, treatment, hospitalization, housing instability, and other temporary crises.
How support is used
Funds may support food, veterinary care, prevention medicine, supplies, safety equipment, transportation, reunification, outreach, insurance, technology, compliance, and reasonable administrative costs necessary to operate the charitable program.
Restricted donations
A donor should contact Second Leash before making a restricted gift. A restriction is accepted only when confirmed by the organization. If a stated need is fully funded, unavailable, or cannot legally or practically be completed, the organization will communicate available options consistent with law and donor intent.
Conflicts and private benefit
Second Leash is operated for charitable purposes. Organizational decisions should prioritize the mission and avoid improper private benefit. Potential conflicts should be disclosed and handled by disinterested decision-makers when required.
Records
Publicly available nonprofit records and governing information may be requested by emailing bself@secondleash.us. Certain records may be withheld or redacted to protect personal privacy, foster locations, veterinary information, security, or confidential case details.
Accuracy
We aim to keep website information accurate and current. Program capacity, dogs in care, service availability, donation needs, and partnerships may change. The website should display a “last reviewed” date whenever material program information is updated.
