Patient sponsorships cover the cost of all expenses related to a patient’s hospital stay. From intake all the way through release, you get to be a part of their recovery every step of the way - including opening the kennel at their release!

How it works

Donate

For a tax deductible donation of $5,000 you can sponsor a patient’s entire hospital stay! Your contribution will provide them with food, medicine, and any specialized treatments or procedures they require.

Name your patient

We’ll alert you as soon as we have a patient in need of a sponsor. Then, you get to decide what to name them!

We’ll provide you with updates throughout your patients road to recovery. You’ll hear all about their personality, treatments they’re undergoing, milestones they’ve reached, and receive photos along the way!

Follow their journey

Send them home

You made their recovery possible, now you get to be the one to send them home! You’ll have the opportunity to open the kennel at your patient’s release. You’ll also receive a symbolic sea lion patient stuffed animal to remember them by.
