When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping Phill with all of his care, from routine vet visits to daily feedings.

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 Phill.

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

Handsome, soulful Phill the water buffalo narrowly escaped a tragic fate multiple times--he fled his property before being slaughtered, and then was shot by police on the run. Phill was loose in Des Moines for days, scared and confused, before being humanely captured and taken to ISU for treatment of his injuries. Phill’s story captured the hearts of people nationwide, and we’re so relieved it has a happy ending. He will live out his life in the peace and safety of sanctuary--like he deserves.

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.
