Sponsorship is a great way to help an animal when you can't adopt or foster. Individuals, families, teams or corporations can benefit from animal sponsorship. 

​

When an animal is brought into rescue, they are initially examined medically, including a heartworm test. The medical needs of the animal are assessed. If they aren't spayed or neutered, we will schedule an appointment with a vet. If they are heartworm disease positive (HW+), they are treated, which is a somewhat lengthy process, and although not  available for adoption until treatment is completed, pets are available for a foster to adopt contract. That means the pet is cared for by their approved adoptive family, but the rescue continues to pay for the treatment. 

​

Some animals remain with the rescue a very short term and some longer term. 

​

The standard costs of every animal will include some or all of the following, at a minimum: 

• Initial Medical Assessment and Heartworm Disease Test: $50

• Spay/Neuter: $150

• Heartworm Disease Treatment: $600-$900

• Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention (per month): $20

• Food (per month): $10-20

​

Sponsorship starts at $25 per month. Sponsorship is committed for a 12 month period. 

​

Sponsorship levels are as follows: 

• Bronze - $25 per month - supports 1 animal

• Silver - $100 per month - supports 4 animals
