Below are some of the pets in our program who have extraordinary medical or behavior expenses. Donating to sponsor one of these pets will allow us to provide the necessary treatment to these and future pets.
You can also sponsor any pet in our program. Each pet costs us, on average, about $250 to spay/neuter, feed, house, and medically treat. We do not recoup all of that with our adoption fees, and thus, need to raise funds to continue saving pets.
Visit the list of dogs and cats, click on a dog or cat you’d like to sponsor, and you’ll see a sponsorship form on the right side of the page.
