Central Location For Shelter Pet Sponsorship

Photo tells exactly what PETBUCKS does. 

Anyone who has ever volunteered for an animal shelter, adopted a pet from one, or benefited from a shelter's programs, realizes that most shelters try to stretch their funds to provide for the needs of their pets. It isn't easy, as shelters rely on the generosity of contributors, and don't often receive government funding.

Kim Lechner saw the need and went to work, utilizing her 25 years of professional experience and the capabilities of social media, through her organization, PETBUCKS. Essentially, PETBUCKS provides a way for people to sponsor animals residing in shelters or with foster families.



Ms. Lechner explained, "We fill the void of raising much needed resources in a new and unique business model format, for the thousands of animal welfare organizations already in existence. PETBUCKS'  member organizations will post their adoptable pets' profiles with periodic updates to sponsoring individuals, including news of the pet's adoption into safe, loving homes made possible by donor support." Once a sponsored pet is adopted into a permanent home, the sponsor receives that news in an email, along with the profile of another pet, who needs sponsorship. Let's look at a few pets available for sponsorship.

Newt, a dog, is part Staffordshire Bull terrier and terrier, at I Am Dog Rescue Incorporated. Newt loves to chase other dogs and wrestle with them. He particularly likes having his ears and jowls rubbed. He's looking for a home around Cross Roads, TX, and he's asking for sponsorship at $19 per month.

Missy, a cat, is a domestic longhair, sheltering with Operation Kindness. She describes herself as a 5-year-old queen, whose coat is torbie in color. With a calm demeanor, this kitty is house trained and gets along with other cats. She's looking for a home around Carrollton, TX. Her sponsorship costs $14 per month.

Alchemy, a black male domestic shorthair cat, is also considered a special needs pet. His care is being provided by Furry Friends Animal Rescue. His family brought this young cat into the vet, where they found out he was FIV+, and they requested that he be euthanized. But other than this one test result, he was relatively healthy. So, instead of euthanization, the vet office called in the rescue organization. Since being with the rescue group, Alchemy has proven just what a love he is. He's looking for a new family in the Plano, TX, area. Sponsorship costs $14 per month,

By the way, PETBUCKS also accepts individual, one-time donations that are passed on to some of the services provided by sponsoring organizations.
