Do you wish you could help a homeless pet by giving it a good home, but right now adopting a new pet is just not possible? Or are you looking for the perfect gift for a friend or loved one who loves animals? We have a program that will work for you!

As you know, our animals stay with us until they are adopted. This means that sometimes our friends are with us for quite awhile and in some cases-- forever. You can become a friend to one of our shelter pets through your sponsorship of them. The cost for pet sponsorship is:

$30 — Pet Friend (3 month sponsorship)
$55 — Pet Caretaker (6 month sponsorship)
$100 — Pet Guardian (1 year sponsorship)

To introduce you to your new friend, you will receive a welcome packet letting you know a little more about your chosen pet, including a picture of him or her. If you're sponsoring a pet as a gift for someone, we can send the sponsorship packet directly to that person if you'd like. We'll also display a card on your sponsored pet's kennel or living area to let everyone know that YOU care about Kansas City’s pets. If your pet gets adopted during your sponsorship period-- and we hope that happens!-- then we'll let you know and you'll get to sponsor another pet.

We hope you become a special friend to one of our residents and help us keep them happy & healthy until they find their forever home.

You can choose which animal you would like to sponsor by viewing our current residents on our Adoption Page or you can let us choose an animal for you.

You should receive your sponsor welcome packet in 2 weeks or less. If you are giving Sponsor A Pet as a gift and need it sooner please contact us and we'll try to accommodate you.

Renewing Your Sponsorship

If you are already sponsoring a pet and you've received a letter notifying you that your sponsorship period has expired, you may renew your sponsorship on-line, too.
