Animal Sponsorship Program
Since so many animal supporters have requested it, the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County has begun its “Animal Sponsorship Program” for businesses and citizens to show their community that they care about the many abused and homeless animals within Sumter County. So many rescued dogs, cats and horses are in need of ongoing care while awaiting adoption in a forever family and this sponsorship program will allow the Humane Society/SPCA to afford the expenses until then.
Sponsors can select an individual animal they see on the quarterly flyer, and for either only $30/month or $300/year, they can help make a difference in the lives of animals in need in their community. In return, besides having the gratification of helping an animal in need, they will receive a framed certificate of appreciation and photo of each animal they sponsor and a listing in the quarterly newsletter if they choose to sponsor for the entire year at once.
"You may find your new
best friend in the process too!” said volunteer Linda Graves, “It’s a great way to let local businesses show their clientele that they support
their community and can proudly display the certificates in a customer lobby.
There are also
many people who want to help somehow, but may not be able to foster or attend events, yet
they want to make a difference.”
Our countywide “Kibbles on Wheels” program is offered to the pets of the county’s needy, elderly or homebound citizens.
