SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
You can sponsor an animal featured in The Buddy Beat, Buddy website or you can call our hotline and inquire about which animals have special-care needs.
The continued viability of the sponsorship program is necessary for several reasons.
First, the number of animals rescued by the foundation has soared to a record high and there has not been a lapse of young and larger kittens all year.
Second, without major fundraisers, like our golf outing and annual birthday party, our bills always exceed donations.
Lastly, our adoption fees often do not begin to cover the animal's initial intake expense to render it healthy.
Believe me, the foundation spares no expense. We routinely get specialty orthopedic, eye, cardiac and internal medicine care for our animals, including secondary consultations. Imagine a litter of orphaned kittens only 2 weeks old. They can drink hundreds of dollars in kitten formula before they are weaned.
An increase in the number of animals we rescue directly translates into increasing veterinary bills, food bills and housing bills. This is especially true when temperatures begin to plummet.
During fall, the foundation finds itself working at a frantic pace to rescue as many animals as we can before the harsh reality of winter blows in. We work at an accelerated rate to spare as many animals as we can from frostbite, starvation, frozen paws, amputated limbs and death.
Our sponsorship program is designed so anyone -- individual, group or corporation -- can sponsor an animal that is waiting to be adopted. The sponsorship fee assists with the animal's medical bills, training bills, food and housing expenses for a month.
Have you thought about adopting or fostering an animal, but find housing constraints to be an obstacle? Have you pondered the idea of volunteering for The Buddy Foundation and find your schedule is already too hectic? If you have answered in the affirmative to any of these questions, the sponsorship program was tailored for you.
Make the commitment to make a difference in a homeless animal's life and sponsor a Buddy Foundation animal so that just one more animal can continue on its journey to find a loving home.
