Sponsor a Foster

We have several long-term foster dogs with special needs that will most likely never find their forever home due to medical conditions or behavioral issues. We believe these dogs still deserve love and we make every effort to offer them the best life possible, but that comes with a price. Most of our funding comes from the adoption fees and since these dogs will never be adopted, they become a strain on the rescue. That is where you come in, if you would like to sponsor one of our long-term / forever fosters you can set up recurring donations using Venmo, Apple or Zelle. Find more information on how to do this below. If you would like to receive occasional updates on the dog you are sponsoring, that can be arranged as well.

​

Typical monthly cost for these fosters include:

  • Food

  • Trips to the Vet

  • Medications

  • Toys, Treats and Fun Stuff

How to set up recurring donations

Venmo
To set up a recurring payment, you'll need to select the "Schedule" option when initiating a payment or request within the Venmo app. You'll then specify the recipient, the amount, the payment frequency (e.g., monthly, weekly, bi-weekly), and an optional end date. Venmo will send reminders before scheduled payments. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Tap the "Pay/Request" option in the Venmo app. 

  2. Select Recipient: @martha-piercefield 

  3. A "Schedule" button will appear, allowing you to set up a one-time or recurring payment.

  4. Choose the frequency (e.g., monthly, weekly, etc.) and the specific dates or recurring intervals for the payment. 

  5. Set End Date (Optional): You can set a specific end date for the recurring payments to stop automatically.
