Although we will have ongoing streams of revenue to alleviate the need for fundraising once we are operational, initially we must raise the funds to cover the cost of construction through generous donations from corporations, foundations and individuals. We have many funding opportunities and high-impact promotions which will provide extensive exposure, positive publicity and goodwill for our donors. Opportunities for naming rights for buildings and separate areas of the sanctuary, along with banner space in the indoor and outdoor arenas, will be attractive to corporations and individuals. The Tribute Wall and the Memory Garden will provide affordable opportunities for familiies and individuals as well.

Each of the following naming opportunities will receive extensive publicity through signage, exposure to visitors at the sanctuary, all press releases and newspaper articles.

Main Building (1 at each location) -- One-time donation of $250,000

This building will be the entrance to all of the shelter's operations and will see over 100,000 visitors each year.

We will have a low cost/no cost spay/neuter clinic at each location to aid the community in preventing pet overpopulation.

Mobile Spay/Neuter Units (2 at each location) -- One-time Donation of $200,000

These mobile units are large RVs containing fully outfitted surgical units.  These units will be dispatched to rural areas in each sanctuary's region to provide economically depressed areas the opportunity to have their pet spayed/neutered to help alleviate pet overpopulation and stem the flow of unwanted puppies to area kill shelters and dog pounds. The donor's information will be placed on three sides of the vehicle.

Rescue Transport Vans (4 at each location) -- One-time donation of $50,000
