Sponsor a Kennel

Sponsoring a kennel supports the care of our furry friends!  Each kennel sponsorship supports the care of our furry friends for either one, three, six, or 12 months. For less than $1 a day, you help us offer a second chance to a special dog or cat, providing it with shelter, health care and an opportunity to be adopted into a permanent, loving home.


Sponsorships make great gifts, too! When you become a kennel sponsor, a personalized kennel sign with your name, your company’s name, or in memory of a beloved family member, special friend or cherished pet will be placed on your choice of a cat or dog kennel. Your kennel sign will be seen by the many people who visit our shelter annually. In addition, you’ll have the pride of knowing that you are supporting an effective organization that protects and cares for more than 1,500 homeless animals every year. 


Kennel sponsorships are available for:

  • $30 for one month
  • $75 for 3 months
  • $100 for 6 months
  • $150 for one year


You can drop by the shelter to purchase in person (and we'll give you a gift card for the recipient then, too!) or follow the link below to our online kennel sponsorship portal.

Planned Giving

Your planned gift to the Franklin County Animal Shelter makes a powerful impact on our ability to maintain and expand adoption, education, and veterinary services for our region’s companion animals and their caregivers. Planned or deferred gifts can take many forms: life insurance proceeds, a portion of an estate, or income from a trust. Each type of planned gift provides unique tax benefits to you, the donor, and your beneficiaries. Planned gifts should be made with the advice of your legal counsel. If you have any questions that we can help you with regarding planned giving, please don’t hesitate to call us at (207)778-2638, or email our Media and Fundraising Coordinator, Kalista at  kalista@fcanimalshelter.org
