Pay Tribute
Is there a greater gift to give than a second chance at life and love? Pay tribute to a special person or pet by helping animals in need. Celebrate milestones and holidays with a donation to shelter pets on behalf of someone you love.
Honor the memory of a beloved person or pet with a donation to animals who will thrive because of your gift. Honorees will be listed on our memorial boards, on the Honorees section of our website, newsletter, and a personal letter announcing your generosity will be sent to those you’d like notified. For all honorary gifts totalling $1,000 or more, a photo of the beloved can be included on the website memorial page and newsletter.
Leave a Legacy

Be forever associated with kindness to animals by taking advantage of our naming opportunities. Contact Executive Director Vicki Blakeman at 406-222-1311 or sased@imt.net for more information.
Talk with your estate planner or tax professional to learn about the many ways to support Stafford Animal Shelter and the (often changing) tax benefits.
BUSINESS SPONSORS
Business Sponsors provide crucial funds and receive multi-media publicity exposure year round. We offer support levels to fit every budget and you may benefit now while making payments later during your best fiscal season. Contact the Development Director at 406-222-1313 or shelterbark@imt.net to tap into the thousands of Shelter supporters who loyally follow the Shelter’s Pet of the Week ads, website, Facebook and Twitter feeds, newsletter, special events, and more!
No ready cash or looking for other ways to support Shelter pets? In kind donations of needed items or services are always appreciated. Our current wish list may give you some ideas. Businesses with services the Shelter needs may trade services for Business Sponsorships as well. Contact 406-222-1311 or sased@imt.net to learn more.
