In Loving Memory Of Caleb Nice
On October 27th, a very special person went to be with his Lord and Savior. We have known Caleb and his parents for many years. In his memory, his Sister established a collection of donations to sponsor a whole bunch of animals here at the shelter. In Calebs name, 9 Dogs became fully sponsored - and a further 6 Dogs had their partial sponsorships added to, to make them fully sponsored too! The recognition reads as follows "Sponsored In Loving Memory Of Caleb Nice, Whose Gentle Heart And Bright Spirit Continue To Bring Comfort, Joy And Love To Every Dog Waiting For A Home".
Please read the dogs descriptions to see which ones were sponsored in full or in part by Calebs family & friends

Dog Sponsorship.
Maybe you like the look of one of the above dogs, but are unable to adopt him or her for yourself? You can always sponsor a dog - which will make it a lot easier for someone else to adopt. Any amount that you sponsor will be deducted from the adoption fee for that particular dog and you will receive recognition in the dogs description for your generosity! (plus, you get to have a nice, warm fuzzy feeling inside - knowing that you are helping a dog in need) ;)
Dog sponsorships are proving to be extremely successful, with the vast majority of sponsored dogs finding a home quickly! If you are interested in sponsoring, please complete the form below and be sure to enter the kennel number and brief description of the dog in the message subject line. Please enter the recognition or message (that you would like us to add to the description) in the large box at the bottom of the form.
After sending the form to us, please use the "Square" button (below) to send your chosen sponsorship amount.
