Be An Angel
Cyber Adoption Or
How to Sponsor a Hound by Subscription
The cost of operating
our kennel is rising yet again. The price of kibble has risen about 25%
since we opened the kennel in 2000, and medications have gone up even
more. Our cost per dog per month is now hovering around $25, not counting
anything extra that might be needed. That figure basically just keeps a dog fed and free
of parasites (worms, fleas, etc). The struggle to keep up with the daily support drains
our resources, so that when special needs arise there are often no
extra funds to cover them. Our emergency account is usually
empty.
Several of our "inmates" are senior
or special needs hounds. Their stays with us tend to be longer and
their needs are often greater. Occasionally one lives out his/her
life here. That's okay. It's not what we want for them, but
they're safe and loved, which is more than a lot of dogs ever get. Our
special hounds are designated with halos beside their names.
You can help by choosing a Greyhound to
sponsor by subscription through PayPal. It's very simple. First you choose
an un-sponsored hound below. Type in his/her name and then just click on the "I Want to
Be An Angel" button. You will be automatically billed $20.00 through
PayPal once a month until your chosen hound is adopted. At that point your
subscription will be cancelled. You are welcome to sponsor
a new hound after your first one is adopted, or to sponsor more than one
at a time. And of course you are free to cancel your sponsorship
subscription at any time.
What do you get for your sponsorship subscription?
-
A wallet size picture and a
larger (5x7-ish) picture of your sponsored hound. These may not be
"normal" frame or wallet sizes due to the way they were cropped
for use on our website before we started the sponsorship program. But
we'll make them as close as we can.
-
The Angels
Newsletter with updates about all of our adoptable hounds, sponsored and
un-sponsored. This comes out sporadically.
-
An Angel
T-shirt (after 3 continuous months of sponsorship).
-
An Angel
certificate.
-
Your name on the "Angels
Board" in our kennel. After one year of continuous sponsorship
(does not have to be for the same dog), your name will be put on an engraved
plate on a permanent plaque in our kennel. Pictures will be posted
here of the Angels Board and the permanent plaque when they are available.
-
The opportunity to be put in touch with
your sponsored hound's adopter so that you can continue to keep up with
him/her if you choose.
When we receive notification that you have
subscribed as a sponsor, we will email you to ask your t-shirt size. Click on a hound's
picture to go to his/her own page.
