Sponsor a Special Needs Dog at The Brittany Foundation
The Brittany Foundation houses many special needs dogs at their sanctuary. Most of these dogs are available for adoption, but due to age, medical issues, or emotional issues, it's unlikely that they will be placed. These dogs are expected to spend the remainder of their lives at the sanctuary. Veterinary expenses for these dogs are significantly higher than average. Sponsoring these dogs is a great way to offer direct help to their special needs pups, even if you can't adopt right now. To make a one-time or recurring monthly donation in support of these dogs please visit their website. Visit: http://www.brittanyfoundationonline.org/specialneeds.html
