Freedom Service Dogs of America

Based on its 2023 tax return, Freedom Service Dogs of America used joint cost accounting for 5.8 percent of its $6.9 million budget. While legal, this accounting method is often used to disguise overhead costs as program spending. We recommend that no more than 5 percent of a budget be allocated to joint cost accounting.

We do not recommend giving to the Freedom Service Dogs of America. See our lists of Highly Recommended Charities and Recommended Charities for alternatives.
