Thinking of sponsoring a pet as a gift?
Pet sponsorship is a pawsome gift for any animal lover. As well as helping pets in need find loving new homes, you’ll make a pet lover very happy.
When you sign someone up as a sponsor, they’ll receive the welcome pack and all the latest updates about their sponsorship pet.
You can also opt to send them an e-gift card straight away too to let them know about their special gift. Please note that gift recipients need to be aged 18 or over.
What do you receive as a pet sponsor?
As well as doing something wonderful, you’ll also receive a special welcome pack in the post, with your sponsorship certificate, info all about sponsorship, and other goodies, like fridge magnets, a car sticker and handy folder for keeping all your updates and photos of your pets!
And we’ll keep you updated about your furry and feathery friends with news, photos and exclusive videos. You’ll learn about their journeys, personalities and adventures by post three times a year, and you can sign up to monthly email updates too.
You’ll also be among the first to know when we’ve found them a new home – and then we’ll introduce the next homeless pet you’ll be sponsoring.

Your sponsorship money helps support every pet who comes to us for a second chance at life, right up until the day we find them a new, loving home. Everything from nutritious food and toys, that help to build trust to essential vaccinations and, if required, life-saving surgery.
No. Each pet is supported by lots of sponsors. We simply couldn’t provide all the food, warmth and expert care that our pets need, without the help of a number of generous sponsors.
No. Because of the vulnerable nature of the pets in our care, we can only allow our trained pet care experts to have access to our pets. However, you will receive regular updates on the health and wellbeing of the pet you sponsor.
It depends on whether your circumstances and needs matches that of the pet you’re sponsoring, and if they’re available for rehoming. Many of the pets in our care that receive sponsorship have special medical requirements, and behavioural issues.
As a first step, we suggest you visit our find a pet pages, and register your interest in rehoming a pet.
You could also consider becoming a fostering volunteer.
Yes! We’ll keep you in the loop with news about your sponsor pet, when they have been rehomed and give you updates about how they are getting on in their new home!
This is one of the best things about being a sponsor, knowing a pet you’ve helped to support has found a new loving home.
