Save lives and share love by becoming
a sponsor today

When we first met Shakespeare, he was just two months old and struggling to breathe.

Shakespeare was battling a case of pneumonia so severe, it caused permanent fibrotic changes in his tiny lungs. With the help of our expert veterinary team, he pulled through, but the illness left its mark. He’ll have respiratory challenges for the rest of his life – challenges that require constant care.

The Pet Sponsorship Program played a vital role in this Shakespearean tale – and so can you, Peter. By becoming a sponsor, you’ll connect Shakespeare and special needs pets like him with the medical care they need for the rest of their lives… and loving homes, like the one he found with Minsoo. Will you write the happy ending for a sponsor pet today?

The connection between Minsoo and Shakespeare was instant.

“When I saw him for the first time, I just felt right with him. No questions asked,” Minsoo said. That’s the kind of love every animal deserves… and it’s the kind of love you can give by sponsoring a pet.

I won’t mince words: The care Shakespeare needs is time-consuming and expensive. But we believe that pets belong with responsible families who love them – and that the cost of their care should never keep star-crossed lovers like Shakespeare and Minsoo apart.

Here’s part of why our sponsorship program is so important: Shakespeare’s sponsors help fund the care he needs so that Minsoo never receives a bill from us. Minsoo administers his inhaler every day, brings Shakespeare to his regular check-ups and carefully manages his physical activity to avoid placing strain on his delicate lungs. You see, Shakespeare has sponsors to thank not just for his health, but also for the love and care he found with Minsoo.

The moment you choose to sponsor a pet like Shakespeare, you become an essential part of their life. I hope you’ll consider stepping into that role for a special needs animal today.

P.S. To remain no-kill, we need to keep space available for animals who come through our doors in all kinds of conditions, which is why families who choose to adopt animals with special needs and the people who sponsor them play such an important role in our mission. Will you sponsor a pet today and become a critical part of this lifesaving web of care?
