Sponsor a Dad-less Pet this Father's Day!

Better than a tie or tools! Gift your dad the gift of helping a furry friend this Father's Day by sponsoring an AAHS adoptable animal in his name!

 

Father’s Day is here, and we all look for meaningful gifts to get our dads (or surrogate dads) on this special day to let them know how much they mean to us. Ties and tools are always fun, but how about something even more meaningful to accompany them this year? Most of us will get to spend this Father’s Day with our dads or someone special, but our adoptable pets may not find homes before then to give loving purrs and wags to their families—but you can show them love by sponsoring a pet in your dad’s name for Father’s Day, and in return, you’ll get a certificate to present with those tools or tie this year.

At AAHS, we offer Animal Friend sponsorships at the Adoption Center for $25 or more which helps lower a sponsored animal’s adoption fee, thereby increasing its odds for finding a home sooner. Potential adopters will see how special the animal is for someone to choose them as an Animal Friend, and it’ll also make the adoption fee more affordable. The Animal Friend sponsorship also helps to cover some of the costs to take care of the animal while waiting for a new home. The adoptable animals at AAHS may not have the luxury of spending Father’s Day with its human family yet, so by sponsoring one of them, you can show your love while they wait for their forever homes. And I bet your dad or special someone would love to know that you helped a furry friend in his name this year!
