What Sponsoring an Animal Means

At Famous Fido Rescue we help many animals that have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. But we realize that not every person who is touched by an animals store has the ability to adopt. Remembering that every animal only gets one precious life, our goal is to have a positive influence and outcome, making their one precious life the best it can be. Becoming an animal sponsor is one way we try to open an avenue for their support when the perfect solution isn’t yet available. Here are some of the crucial things our sponsors enable us to provide for the cats and dogs who call us their temporary home.

Medical Expenses

Every animal at Famous Fido Rescue is responsibly and appropriately cared for with their vetting. Sponsor for medical expenses can contribute to their spaying, neutering, vaccinations, treatments, and emergency care. Healthy animals who have done these things stand a monumentally greater chance of being adopted to forever homes.

Training Solutions

Training is a crucial part of preparing dogs for their future homes. Our hope is to work with both cats and dogs and build on their potential to ease them with their transitions. With cats this can take the form of increased exposure to and interaction with volunteers. Cats who are more socialized again, have a better chance of being adopted. Training solutions such as positive-reinforcement classes for dogs can help ease their anxiety, and other behavioral challenges.

Facility Improvements

There are 8 cat rooms, 5 dog rooms, a training room, and outdoor play space at our facility. This eliminates the need for cages in all but a few specific circumstances related to animal safety. With the drastic rise in animal surrenders during the pandemic we are again looking for ways to improve our capabilities. Sponsorship helps lay the bricks and pave the way for us to work with animals in environments that resemble the real world.

Events And Campaigns

Throughout the year, Famous Fido Rescue hosts several events and runs campaigns to advocate animal adoptions and raise funds for their food, shelter, and medical care. This requires a network of engaged individuals and outreach. Working with animal sponsors is a great way for Famous Fido and dedicated animal lovers to connect and pool the efforts in important directions.

Sanctuary Animals

When animals are not able to pass a behavioral assessment, or require extensive medical care, they are offered a safe space to stay in the Famous Fido sanctuary so they are not lost to euthanasia. As these animals are often more costly to care for, we often seek sponsors to commit to easing the impact of these costs and providing a reliable source of support.

Interventions

To save animals from entering shelters to begin with, Famous Fido Rescue works on solutions where cats or dogs can stay with their people in safe and loving homes. With this service, counseling and resources are offered to community members to prevent animals being surrendered. Sometimes this involves temporarily boarding an animal while their guardian resolves a housing situation or makes some necessary arrangements for the animal’s well-being. This is a cost that few, if any other animal rescues or shelters ever incur. Striving to handle things on a case by case basis makes sponsorship all the more vital in remaining flexible yet solvent as an organization.
