Sponsor A Retriever

Everyday more than 4 million animals nationwide enter into shelters across the US. Nearly 2/3 of those animals become subject to euthanasia due to overcrowding. While RROC has saved nearly 570 dogs, we are still on the path to save more. While we are not a shelter, all of our dogs are placed immediately in foster care with the resources from RROC supplied to the families.

Learn About What each RROC dog needs

Because every dog that is taken in by RROC recieves top notch care, attention and treatment, our costs for even the first day of care often exceed our intake. The cost accrued for just one animal includes cost of gas for transportation, food, medications, vaccinations, identification, and vet visits. The request for a sponsorship program has increased within the last year and as a result, RROC would like to answer the pleas of our public within our first sponsorship program since our inception into non-profit in 2006.

We welcome sponsorship at any size

RROC places absolutely no minimum or maximum on sponsors for a RROC dog. Also, remember that each gift to our RROC program is TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

Sponsorship Cost

Sponsor a dog for any period of time

Again, no minimum or maximum. Furthermore, sponsors may end their membership in the program at any time upon notice to the RROC board.

Terms of Sponsorship

Sponsorship FAQs

What if I prefer to donate items rather than money? RROC’s wish list includes items anywhere from food and leashes to calling cards and frontline. From time to time, RROC will also get in dogs on a specific diet which increases the daily intake or price of food. In the event that you wish to donate food or other items, you will have the option of placing a food/item symbol or the corresponding color star for which matches your cost of donation. Can I sponsor in memory of a previous pet along with my name? Of course, RROC refers to these as tribute sponsorship. Have a particular pet on your mind and want to remember them by helping to save another dog? If you are Guardian Level and above you may include a sentence or two about your beloved pooch for a tribute post on our RROC Dog Sponsor Recognition page. Can I sponsor more than one dog? Absolutely. RROC does not put a limit on how many dogs you are allowed to sponsor. The more the merrier! Can more than one person sponsor a specific dog? Yes. Multiple stars may be placed as well as names for sponsorship. Levels of sponsorship are identified and distinguished by number of gold stars. Can I set up a monthly sponsorship? Of course. Many of our RROC dogs are adopted out fairly quickly. In the event that you choose to be a monthly sponsor and your specific RROC dog is adopted, dies or transferred to another program, you are always encouraged to have your monthly donation transfer over to the care of a current or incoming RROC dog. Sponsorship will end naturally in the event transfer is not initiated by the sponsor and authorized by the board. Can RROC ever choose a dog for me to sponsor? Most definitely. RROC’s foster parents and organization board are the most familiar with each dog’s needs and costs. In the event that you are not interested in sponsoring a specific dog, RROC can recommend a certain dog based on your desired level of sponsorship.
