  • Sponsor an animal –
    Sponsoring an animal puts a spotlight on the animal who might otherwise get over looked at HSSET. When you sponsor an animal you are paying for all, or a portion of, their adoption fee. This sponsorship is a great way for those who cannot have animals to still be involved and make a difference in the lives of these amazing pets.
