The Senior and Special Need Advocacy Program (SSNAP) provides for older Dobermans and those with medical or behavioral issues who can be shelter residents for a long time. These dogs are typically overlooked by prospective adopters and SSNAP allows them the care and time needed to find that special someone.
We are careful not to “warehouse” dogs, but feel strongly about providing care for dogs who have good quality of life, both physically and mentally, until such things change or until that special home comes along.
SSNAP dogs often have the added expense of medication, special diet, supplements, training, etc. SSNAP spotlights these dogs with the hope of ultimately finding a permanent home for each one.
SSNAP donations will be used to provide ongoing, supportive care for these wonderful dogs.
There are several ways in which you can particpate including:
Participants will receive information and a picture of their sponsored dog. Any donations designated for a specific dog, which exceed care costs, will be used to provide for other dogs in the program.
All dogs are available for adoption and our goal is to see each dog find a home. If the dog you have chosen to sponsor is fortunate enough to be adopted, we’ll notify you and tell you the details.
If you would like to participate by sponsoring one of the DRU SSNAP dogs, please click here for a form to fill out and send in. You can also donate to SSNAP online with a check or credit card at the marketplace. Thank you very much for your participation in this special program.
