Keep the Promise Going
Sponsoring Petey supports the whole mission that carries his name: rescue, rehabilitation and lifelong sanctuary care. Monthly giving makes that care predictable, which matters more than any single gift.
Sponsorship contributions support Petey’s Promise’s overall rescue and sanctuary mission and may be used where the need is greatest. Sponsoring a dog does not necessarily mean the sponsor is covering that dog’s complete expenses.
Ricky, also called Ricochet
Shot through the shoulder and living on the streets of Texas, Ricky was rescued and brought into care. Today he is safe and looking for his family.
Meet RickyFrequently Asked Questions
What is a sanctuary dog?
A sanctuary dog stays in permanent or long-term care because traditional adoption would not be safe or appropriate for them, often because of medical needs, age, behavior history, bite history or special handling requirements. Sanctuary is a commitment to give them a good life anyway. Learn about sanctuary care.
Why can’t every dog be adopted?
Some dogs have ongoing medical conditions, a bite history, special handling needs or simply need more time. Placing them in a home that can’t meet those needs would put the dog and the family at risk. For these dogs, a stable sanctuary home is the safest, kindest option.
Can I sponsor a specific dog?
Yes. When you sponsor, you can choose a specific dog or support the rescue wherever the need is greatest.
Can I adopt a dog?
Only dogs specifically listed as adoptable are available for adoption. Sanctuary residents are not.
