Any Poodle Patrons
out there?
Ever wondered how much it costs per month
to run a rescue poodle farm?
$4,000 -
Per month
Every month
Slow months
and fast months
Summer months
and winter months
$4,000
That is what it takes to
cover our routine cost of running the kennel the electric
bill, the water bill, the food bill, heartworm preventative, flea
and tick preventative, grass cutting, gas for the van, shampoo,
grooming, routine supplies like paper towels and bleach and laundry
detergent and our kennel help.
But dont you charge
adoption fees?
Yes, we do. Our adoption
fees go to cover our medical costs (which run round $4,000 per month),
to buy needed equipment like crates and grooming tools, to put a
little aside for those special needs dogs that we just dont
want to say no to, and to cover extraordinary costs like puppy mill
runs.
Thats a lot of poodle
bucks! We can not do this with adoption fees alone. We need your
help. How?
Become a poodle patron. Poodle
patrons help us to continue our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating
and, when the right home comes along, rehoming poodles, poodle mixes
and other small dogs by helping us pay the bills.
What does it take to become
a poodle patron?
Toy patron: $25 per month
sponsors a toy poodle or small dog at Dreamweaver Farms.
Miniature patron: $35 per
month sponsors a miniature poodle or mid sized dog at Dreamweaver
Farms.
Standard patron: $50 per
month sponsors a standard poodle or large dog at Dreamweaver Farms.
Seniors and sanctuary patrons:
$75 per month sponsors a senior dog or special needs dog at Dreamweaver
Farms. These are dogs that either will most likely never be adopted
and live out their lives at our farm or who have extraordinary medical
needs (including special surgeries, heartworm treatment, parvovirus
treatment, etc). These dogs have their own web page.
Poodle patrons receive recognition
by having their names written on our Wall of Thanks in the kennel
and published monthly on our webpage and in our online newsletter.
Senior and sanctuary patrons names are also listed on the special
seniors and sanctuary section of our web page by the pet of their
choice.
How can we thank you? We
cant, not really. But we try.
Poodle patrons who have sponsored
continuously for six months receive an attractive lapel pin to proudly
display on a coat or sweater or use as a tie tack or hat ornament.
Poodle patrons (who are also
approved adopters) who have sponsored a poodle for one year continuously
may adopt a poodle for ½ our normal adoption fee (normal
screening and evaluation applies).
Poodle patrons who have donated
for one year continuously receive free a CPR T shirt or tote bag.
Poodle patrons (who are also
approved adopters) who have sponsored a poodle for two years continuously
may adopt a poodle for ¼ our normal adoption fee. (normal
screening and evaluation applies).
