Support Local Rescue Groups!
If you are interested in sponsoring a dog with a financial donation, feel free to email Allyson at athenspets@gmail.com and let me know the amount. I will post your offer up on that particular dog’s story. Then, upon the dog’s rescue by a licensed rescue group, I will put you in touch with the rescuer for you guys to arrange how and where to send your volunteered donation. Thank you!
