Sponsoring a pet at the Animal Welfare Association makes a true impact in saving lives
With a $75 gift, you can put a furry face to your donation by being a part of AWA’s Pet Sponsorship program. Your 30-day sponsorship gives additional support to a select group of animals that need some extra help. These adoptable pets may already have a higher-than-average length of stay at AWA, they may be older, or have health or behavior challenges that make it more difficult to find their forever home.
Sponsor a pet and be a champion to homeless animals until they find their forever home!
If you are unable to sponsor an animal through our Pet Sponsorship program, we ask that you please share their story to help them find a loving home.
How It Works
1. Choose an animal from the lists below
2. Click "Sponsor Me" and fill out information (make sure to include which pet you'd like to sponsor!)
3. Checkout and save a life!
*$75 receives 30-day sponsorship of an AWA animal. If animal is adopted during sponsorship, funds will be added to general operating fund to help other pets in AWA's care.
Sponsor NowAvailable AnimalsChoose a Pet In Need
The animals available in our Pet Sponsorship program are the most in need. They may be having a difficult time being adopted due to age, breed, or size, or have medical or behavioral challenges making it harder for them to find homes.
Choose the dog, cat, or small animal that you would like to sponsor from our available sponsorship list. If that pet is adopted during your month of sponsorship, your gift will still help other needy pets by going into AWA’s general operating fund.
Visit our adoptions pages to find more pictures and learn more about the animals available for sponsorship at AWA.
Dogs
Our dogs available for sponsorship will change as more come in and others are adopted out. For more pictures and information of these pups, visit our dog adoption page to help choose the dog you’d like to sponsor.
Jackie Thunder
Jackie Thunder, Jackie Boy, Jack Jack, they call me a lot of things but first and foremost you can call me a good boy. I'm passed over a lot because of how energetic I am, but that's just because I love to play with new friends!
Bernadette
I came to AWA with my pups soon after giving birth. It was a very stressful time and I'm still getting used to things. I've been in foster care and do great with my furry and human friends, so I think it will be amazing once I find a forever home.
Contessa
When I got to AWA they found out I was positive for heartworm. The doctors and staff here have done a great job making me feel better, but I can't wait to make it out into a new home and have the energy to go play!
Fuse
Fuse, here. I'm very stressed in the kennels at AWA, but I've really come out of my shell in foster care. I'm a goofy guy who loves to make people laugh. One day I'll have a family that I can entertain every day!
Rose
They named me rose because of my red coat and my beautiful face. When I'm not hanging with my best friends at AWA you'll catch me taking in the sights on a nice, long walk. Soon I'll hopefully have a house to myself and can go explore even more new places!
Cats
Our cats available for sponsorship will change as more come in and others are adopted out. For more pictures and information of these pups, visit our cat adoption page to help choose the cat you’d like to sponsor.
Lola/ Courtney
So nice they named me twice, I'm Lola/ Courtney and I have lots of that famed tortoiseshell "Tortitude." I've been at AWA for over 6 months looking for a home, and I just want a chance to be someone's furever friend.
Mittens
I'm Mittens! I was surrendered because I got a little scared being in a new house, so I'm back here at AWA waiting for someone else to give me a chance to love them!
Robin
Hello all, my name's Robin and I'm a 2 year old female. I came to the shelter with my babies and we were all very sick, but thanks to the AWA's amazing medical team, we were able to make a full recovery in peace and comfort. I was a good mommy, but now I would really like to spread my wings and find a home just for me like my kittens did. I can't wait to meet you!
Bimo
Hi, guys! I'm Bimo. I came to AWA with a cold that was real tough to get over. The awesome doctors took great care of me here, so now I'm ready to find my new home!
Izzy
Izzy, here. I'm FIV-positive, which has made it difficult to find someone to take me home with them. I don't let it get me down, and it doesn't stop me from being a loving cat who loves to meet new friends.
April
Hello everyone, I'm April. I've been at AWA over 6 months and I would love nothing more than to find a quiet, relaxing home of my own. Hopefully that's soon so I can take cozy naps with my new friends, my favorite!
Kip
I'm Kip and I'm a lovely gray girl a little over 2 years old! I currently live with up to 4 other cats in the AWA's community cat room, so I wouldn't mind going to a home with another kitty - or more! I'm hoping that helps me find a home!
Pizza Crust
If you like cats and you like them chunky, then look no further than me, Pizza Crust! I'm a 5 year old male with big, chubby cheeks and an adorable meow, so I know once you see me you won't be able to resist me! I've been hanging out in one of the AWA development team's offices because I was having a rough time adjusting up front, but I'm warming up and ready for love!
Stormi
Hi everyone, my name's Stormi and I'm a sweet girl just a few months shy of 2 years old. I've been at the AWA for a little while now, and I'm coming out of my shell more and more. I just know when I get a chance at a new home I'll be the cuddliest best friend.
Terrence
Meowdy, the name's Terrence. I'm a big, 2 year old male with a personality to match! I know I look lazy- and I definitely can be, I love napping- but I'm also full of energy! Whenever my friends in animal care are taking care of me, I like to run right up to the front of my kennel to see what they're doing. I don't like to ask for much, but I'd really love it if my new home had plenty of toys for me to play with and a soft bed for me to curl up in when I'm tired.
Small Animals
Our guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small animals available for sponsorship will change as more come in and others are adopted out. For more pictures and information of these pups, visit our small animal adoption page to help choose the furry friend you’d like to sponsor.
