STAF DOG AND CAT SPONSORSHIPS SAVE LIVES

Howard and Marleigh say, “Be My Extra-Special Friend – Sponsor & Pamper Me!” We invite you to help us get a sponsor for every animal in the shelter! STAF’s sponsorship program not only provides funding for the day-to-day care of our residents, but allows for some extra pampering, adventures, and comfort as our pets wait for their forever families. For many dogs, it’s an exciting and playful day at a local doggie daycare for socialization, a training class, or car ride for a drive-thru whipped cream “Puppaccino.” For our cats, special treats include fluffy window perches, interactive toys, and brushes for a spa day.

In exchange for your $60 donation to the program, you will receive a photo and a personalized card from your sponsor animal, we’ll hang a sign of recognition outside of the animal’s room for a year, and you can expect an exclusive sponsors-only mailing once or twice a year! Look for our display in the lobby, visit our website, or return this form to sponsor one of our animals today!

Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors who already do so much to help by donating to this valuable program.

WONDERING HOW STAF MAKES A DIFFERENCE?

If you are wondering if STAF makes a difference, ask Fleetwood and Longfellow to tell you about their journey from their first day at STAF until STAF found them both a wonderful home! These two boys were rescued at different times, but both were lucky enough to make their way to STAF. Fleetwood’s rescue ensued for days as a STAF volunteer was trying to help this boy that had a torn up leg and bite wounds all over his face. As soon as she was able to get him safely in the have a heart trap, he was rushed to the vet for immediate care. His wounds were treated, he was neutered, and he joined the ranks of the other big FIV guys at STAF.

Longfellow was also rescued since he was dumped on someone’s property then brought to the vet where it was determined that he tested FIV positive. Knowing that STAF finds wonderful homes for these deserving cats, he too was among the fortunate ones. But now it seems that Fleetwood and Longfellow’s mama knows she is among the lucky group since she enjoys the company of her boys and she watches their loving relationship grow as they both thrive in their home every day. Their days are filled with finding the most snuggly spot to lounge rather than fending for themselves on the dangerous streets, so these two boys can tell you firsthand that STAF really does make a difference!

STAF SUPERSTARS!

When our very busy Vet Assistant opened the door at STAF and she was greeted by Gerald, who was just six years old, and his mom Emilie, she was in awe of this young man’s philanthropic spirit. Gerald was excited to donate money he raised by creating his own lemonade stand. He was inspired to raise money as he learned that the older kids had bake sales for Capstone Projects and he also met a friend’s foster cat so he learned the importance of animal welfare. They chose STAF since they know our mission is all about rescuing animals in need and providing second chances.

Gerald, welcome to our STAF family and we hope you realize that because of your selfless act and the time you spent raising money for our organization, your donation will help our dogs and cats and you have already made a wonderful difference in our world. Keep up the great work and thank you for being a STAF Star!

Thank you to STAF Star, Max, for celebrating his 9th birthday by donating his birthday money to our dogs and cats! Our young philanthropist asked his friends to go to STAF’s website to make donations instead of buying presents for him. Obviously, this adorable young man knows that the gift of giving is truly the greatest gift of all.

And because we wanted Max and his younger brother, Sam, to see some of the beneficiaries of their kindness, a special play date was arranged in our Kittengarten room. Our little soccer and hockey players never realized that kitten antics can be quite a workout filled with fun and folly. From the looks of things, our generous young athletes might want to add kitten zoomies to their sports roster. Mom?
