Sponsor a Kennel at CARE STL
Do you want to be involved with CARE STL and help the pets in our care but don’t have time to volunteer or the space to adopt a new family member? Is your company looking for a rewarding way to give back to the community? Then the Kennel Sponsorship Program is for you!
By sponsoring a dog or cat kennel, you will be providing the much-needed funds that will handle the care, feeding, and basic medical expenses for the dog or cat in your sponsored space.
Your contributions will be recognized with a plaque on the space you are sponsoring, and your plaque will be on the kennel for one year.
Sponsorships are now available at the Clark Shelter and at the Walnut Adoption Center.
Photos or logos may be included on the plaque. Please email your hi-res photo in .jpg format or your logo in .eps format to weng@icarestl.org
Please email Weng Horak, weng@icarestl.org, to find out more!
