When you sponsor a resident for a year, you make a HUGE difference in their life. Your donation helps us cover the cost of Maria’s daily care — from routine vet visits to feedings multiple times per day.

With your yearly sponsorship (payments recurring monthly) you will receive quarterly updates and pictures of your resident in your email, your name on the IFS website, plus a spot on our exclusive sponsorship slideshow, viewable in the IFS store. Also, receive a free pass for all Sanctuary Strolls for the duration of your sponsorship!

Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves! This is the gift that keeps on giving, for you and for Maria.

For your convenience, this sponsorship will automatically renew each year until you choose to discontinue sponsor support.

Curious, independent Maria was in a desperate situation and needed our help. She was admitted into the University of Wisconsin's Large Animal Hospital with a terribly infected hind leg due to a suspected spider bite. The farmer who brought her in had exhausted all treatment options with his local vet, but unfortunately Maria’s leg continued to worsen. The only course of action left was amputation--which is when UW reached out for our help. We gladly took Maria’s case and welcomed her home to IFS following her surgery. She has quickly and seamlessly adapted to the three-legged life!

NOTE: For sponsorships, please allow up to 3 business days for your sponsorship package to be created with care and delivered to the recipient's email address.
