Sponsoring a Pet:

Can't have an animal in your home or already have too many?
Just not ready to adopt or foster?

By sponsoring our cats and dogs, you can help keep them happy and healthy while we find them permanent homes.

Just think...

Your donation of $10 a month for 3 months could pay for a vaccination
Your donation of $20 a month for 3 months could pay for a spay or neuter
Your donation of $30 a month for 3 months could cover most medical bills for a typical pet

You, your friends, your company, or even your pets* can choose an animal on our Adopt page who needs to be sponsored and then decide how much you'd like to donate and for how long. You'll receive updates on your pet's status and your name will be mentioned on our website.
*If your pet chooses to sponsor one of our animals, we'll be happy to add a picture of them!

Donating to Big Bart's Hopeful Heart Fund:

Because of a generous donation from Shannon Carson and Gary Terpening, Big Bart's Hopeful Heart Fund was created to set aside funds to help prepare pets for adoption. All dogs entering the shelter are vaccinated for deadly Distemper and Parvovirus and many are wormed. All Condo Cats are tested for FeLV and FIV, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered. Often animals enter the shelter in need of being "patched up" in some manner. We see cases such as collars growing into necks, old gun shot wounds, skin conditions, flea infestations, and diarrhea. Upper respiratory infections are commonplace among cats, requiring a round of antibiotics. There is always some sort of treatment required for every animal that enters the shelter. Big Bart says: "Have a heart; give to my special fund to help the animals find a new loving home."

Donating to the Emergency Fund:

When animals like Clementine and Justin come to our shelter, they need immediate medical care. Amputations and other emergency care can be expensive, and although the vets kindly reduce fees for us, it's good to have money set aside. Having reserve funds for emergency care often means the difference between life or death for shelter animals. If you choose to make a donation to our emergency fund, you will be directly helping one of these emergency cases.

Darst, featured on the right, came to the shelter with gangrene. He needed his feet cleaned up and a toe removed. The Emergency Fund paid for his treatment.

Donating to Rocky's Vaccine Clinic:

Rocky patiently waiting for
his vaccines Rocky's Vaccine Clinic was put into place because of a little pup named Rocky who suffered with Parvo, a disease that is easily preventable with proper vaccination. A loving neighbor and member of our community was able to provide the funds needed for Rocky's life-saving treatment, and this experience inspired her to create a program that could help pets who are in need of crucial vaccines even when their owners may not have the financial resources to visit their veterinarian right now. A donation to Rocky's Clinic will help keep beloved pets safe from diseases like parvo, distemper, and rabies.

Donating through the Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign and the United Way:

You can also give to PCHS through the United Way.
