Sponsor an animal

When you sponsor a homeless pet at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, you help that animal in ways that can't even be counted.

A sponsorship gift is a one-time gift of $25 or more made in honor of an animal at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. You can sponsor an animal in your own name, or as a gift for someone else.

With more than 1,600 animals currently being cared for at the Sanctuary, we'll help you find someone who captures your heart. Your sponsorship will directly help the animal you select, and also help animals across the country who will benefit from your kindness.

How Your Sponsorship Gift Helps

You can sponsor pets from our Sanctuary, a special place where pets can stay as long as the need is there, receiving plenty of love and companionship until they find loving families of their own.

Animal sponsorship helps animals find loving homes, provides low- and no-cost spay/neuter programs, supports legislative and public education efforts all across the country that save the lives of pets.

Pet sponsorship gifts support the work of Best Friends Animal Society and help Save Them All. To assist the greatest number of animals in need, and to make sure your gift does the most good, your donation will be used in combination with other sponsorship gifts to help save the lives of animals.
