How sponsoring works
It takes about two minutes.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3
Add their name
Type your Shepherd's name in the form so your gift goes to their care.
What your sponsorship pays for
Every Shepherd gets vet care, vaccines, preventatives, food and a safe foster home before adoption. Here's what that costs us.
Spay and neuter surgery runs $110 to $500 per dog, because large dogs are priced by weight.
Be their advocate
More than a donation
When you sponsor a Shepherd, you become their personal promoter until they find their family. You don't need a yard or a spare room. You just need to be their biggest fan.
Share their story
Post their profile on Facebook, Instagram and anywhere your friends will see it. Every share puts them in front of someone new.
Be the friend who says hello
Come by an adoption event and be the friendly face who knows their story.
See adoption events →Lend a hand at events
Can't foster? Volunteer at adoption events and help show off your Shepherd, especially when their foster can't make it or has more dogs than hands.
Volunteer with us →Talk them up
Tell friends, family and coworkers about your Shepherd. The right adopter is often a friend of a friend.
Have a talent or a business?
Photographers can take their portraits. Business owners can display their photo and story where customers will see it. Every new set of eyes is a new chance at a home.
Meet the Shepherds you can sponsor
