Goofy is an active, sweet boy who came to K9-ES from a neglect situation (via one of our shelter partners).  His medical needs have been addressed in foster care, but we have chosen to make him a sanctuary/sponsorship case.  

Why?  Quite simply, Goof was never taught many of the basic dog-dog, dog-human, & general life skills most pets seem to come by automatically.  He is simultaneously protective, but extremely timid around new humans & can be picky about his canine friends (adores some, hates others).

Add in a heaping load of young athletic dog energy requiring a fenced yard............ and you have a Goofy dog that is unlikely to make a successful transition to 99% of potential adoptive homes.

What does it mean to sponsor a dog?
-----
Sponsoring a dog is a great way to help dogs lucky enough to be in a foster home.   Even though you're not adopting, you still receive the joy of knowing you helped provide care for the animal(s) you choose to sponsor.

Sponsoring allows you to make a tax-deductible donation, which helps to cover medical costs and on-going expenses of caring for the pet.   You can make a one-time contribution or establish reoccurring donations that will help throughout the year – whichever suits you!
