When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping Pumpkin with all of her 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 Pumpkin.

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

Pumpkin is best known around IFS as Ellie’s seeing eye cow. We weren’t certain that the two would be a good fit for each other, but it was instant kinship. Pumpkin is so incredibly patient and gentle and seems to even move around the pasture in a way in which Ellie can always be by her side. Pumpkin was originally purchased at a sale barn at just a few days old, and upon arrival at her new home it was noticed that she was very sick. Despite all their efforts, the family could not get pumpkin to make a full recovery. That is when they reached out to us. We took Pumpkin to ISU Large Animal Hospital where it was determined that she had been suffering from pneumonia. While she is a happy, healthy calf now, she still coughs frequently from the scar tissue she developed.

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.
