My small rescue is a little different. I get dogs no one wants. I fully vet them, keep them with me for a bit to see if any quirks, illness or anything comes up. Last year my vet bills were in the excess of $5k for the rescues. The money I "pocketed" was less than $2k. I work to support my little rescue.
There is no money in rescue, just a warm fuzzy feeling that you get, when you find the perfect home. Depending on the dog, sometimes I don't even charge a fee. If I know the dog is healthy, and have his medical history, I meet with the vet, and off the pup goes to a new home.
I hope your new dog is feeling better and getting fat and sassy.
