We have a variety of sponsorship options for those who would like to contribute to the costs of running our farm and our commitment to keeping alive any happy, healthy dog, regardless of their ability to earn their keep. Most people cannot afford the real cost of keeping a sled dog at our kennel for a year (gold level sponsorship), so these options can be given in person or as a present on someone's behalf. Everything goes back into the farm and dogs, and they will appreciate any extra bone that comes their way! Donations can be set up by direct debit or through PayPal.
- Donation tiers: €10 / €25 / €50 (€50 often funds named agility equipment)
- Puppy / Bronze: €100 per year (€8/month) - 25% off day safaris
- Senior / Silver: €350 per year (€25/month) - 50% off day safaris
- Working / Gold: €700 per year (€58/month) - one free day-length safari
- Kennel sponsorship €250; cage sponsorship €500 (both include a named plaque)
- Set up by direct debit or PayPal; can be given as a gift
Donation levels (€10 / €25 / €50)
Smaller donations of €10, €25 or €50 all go directly back into the care of the dogs. Donations at the €50 level tend to fund a piece of agility equipment, which can carry a sign beside it with your name on. We are continuously developing the agility course: young dogs love the obstacles in the summer months, and we use the easier ones to build trust with older dogs.
Puppy (Bronze) sponsorship: €100 per year / €8 per month
Pups are joyful bundles of energy, but raising them is no easy feat and costs more than keeping an adult dog. They need feeding five times per day for several months, an intensive series of inoculations and deworming, and extra help with mosquitoes in their first year. Your €100 pup sponsorship goes a long way towards these extra costs.
Bronze level sponsors receive an information card and sponsorship certificate, four updates during the year showing the pup growing up, a year-end training update, a website feature, and a 25% reduction on any of our day-length safaris.
Senior / Non-Working (Silver) sponsorship: €350 per year / €25 per month
This level is for our canine senior citizens living out their retirement comfortably on the farm, and for dogs unable to run for medical reasons. Most retired dogs have minimal veterinary costs and eat less than working dogs, so this level covers their estimated annual food cost of about €350.
Silver level sponsors receive an information card and certificate, a newsletter-style update with photos twice a year, a website feature, and a 50% reduction on any of our day-length safaris.
Working Dog (Gold) sponsorship: €700 per year / €58 per month
We estimate that keeping a working husky for a year costs about €2 per dog per day (across 200+ dogs!), counting only averaged food and veterinary costs and ignoring guide, equipment and infrastructure costs. Hence gold level sponsorship is €700 a year.
Gold level sponsors receive an information card and certificate, a newsletter-style update with photo and video attachments four times per year, a website feature, and one free day-length safari of their choice.
Kennel and cage sponsorship (€250 / €500)
A new kennel costs between €200 and €500 depending on size and whether it is a 'sick-dog', double or single kennel. Sponsor one for €250 and we make a small plaque with your name on it and send you a photo of your kennel, plaque and the happy dog that gets to live in its brand new home.
Cages cost around €500 in materials alone to erect. Sponsored cages carry a plaque with the sponsor's name, and the donation benefits the dogs for a long time, providing extra space when dogs have collar sores or need the warmth of another dog on super cold days.
