For those who wish to contribute a more lasting gift, sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals and businesses to contribute directly to the success of a dog and veteran pairing.  Sponsorship levels start as low as $200 and include many benefits, including free promotion, advance notice of events and promotions and more.

Levels of Sponsorship

Food Sponsor-$200

Food Sponsorship is a wonderful opportunity for those wishing to donate to Stiggy’s Dogs for the first time.  A food sponsorship allows Stiggy’s to feed a psychiatric service dog-in-training throughout the session.  Your money will go to provide the dog food, water and treats for three months or more while he or she is receiving the training necessary to be paired with a veteran.

Dog Basics Sponsor-$1,000

Being a Dog Sponsor is a great way to rescue a dog and provide for its needs during training.  Dog Sponsorship allows you or your organization to pay for the costs of the dog’s food, veterinary care and supplies throughout training as well as the initial training costs.  This is an ideal sponsorship level for those interested in rescuing animals, those memorializing a lost pet or those who just love dogs.

Veteran Sponsor-$2,000

Veteran Sponsors get a unique opportunity to give back to United States veterans by paying for their costs during training and pairing.  Veteran Sponsorship covers the costs of lodging, food and transportation for a veteran over the course of their journey.  Those wishing to donate in the name of a United States veteran who has passed may wish to choose this option in order to ensure that another veteran receives the lasting care he or she deserves.

Four Star Sponsor-$6,500

For those organizations or individuals wishing to sponsor the complete package from rescue to deployment, the Four Star Sponsorship delivers.  By becoming a Four Star Sponsor, you or your organization can truly rescue two lives—the life of a shelter dog and the life of a U.S. veteran.  A Four Star Sponsor is essentially paying for all of the costs to rescue and train a dog as well as all of the costs for the veteran to be paired with the dog.
