What are the new sponsorship levels/rates?

Use the table below to see how our sponsorship levels have updated. If you have an existing sponsorship, you can see how your annual rate has changed and if any new sponsor levels occupy your current rate.

When do these changes take effect?

The updates officially begin on July 1st, 2025.

Will my current plaque be moved?

No plaques will move from their current location until after their existing renewal date passes. We also always allow for a grace period after a sponsorship expires to give sponsors time to renew. After changes take effect, if an existing sponsorship is renewed at the old annual rate, we’ll contact you and look for a new location at the appropriate level if one exists (e.g. if a pre-existing Cat Suite sponsorship is renewed at $175, the plaque would be moved to a Cat Kennel, which now occupies that price level–we’ll let you know first!).

Can I renew my current sponsorship early?

Yes! If your current sponsorship ends on or before December 31st, 2025, you are welcome to renew before July 1st to lock in another year at the current rate. One year will be added to whatever your current renewal date is.

Are the old Dog Kennel sponsorships the same as the Adoption Floor Dog Kennel level?

Yes, all pre-existing Dog Kennel sponsorships are currently located on our dog adoption floor. These will be treated as Adoption Floor Dog Kennel sponsorships until they expire or are renewed. New Adoption Floor sponsorships will be printed as pairs to cover both sides of the kennels. The new “Dog Kennel” sponsorship level represents the 100+ dog kennels beyond our adoption floor that we are making available for the first time.

What are the new selections?

Adoption Floor Dog Kennel

Our dog adoption floor is our most heavily trafficked area in the shelter, where visitors come every day to view our adoptable pups. The two-sided kennels provide space for dogs and easy access for volunteers and staff to lead dogs out of the kennel for walks and visits. Your plaque will be printed twice to hang on both sides of one kennel so everyone can view your lovely engraving.

Barrion Thorpe Walking Trail

Our beautiful wooded trail for dog-walking volunteers was renovated in 2024 through generous donations and many hours of volunteer effort. Everyday, our dogs are walked on the trail where they can sniff, climb and rest with volunteers at the many benches and picnic tables throughout. Your plaque will be placed at the entrance to the trail.
