Sponsor a Dog -- Become A DogFather!
Are you the type who would adopt them all if you could? Well, this is a way to help a dog or cat on this site without setting up your own menagerie. For a small donation ($20.00), we will send a "DogFather certificate" making the person you designate (or you) an honorary dogfather. The money we raise will go to paying for food and vetting for the dogs on our site, and ones who haven't been listed yet (contact us if you'd like to go that route).

Here's what you get as an "Honorary Dogfather":

• Full color certificate making recipient an honorary Dogfather
• Individual biography and photo of the sponsored dog (OF YOUR CHOICE)
• Customized notecard to write a personalized message to the recipient
• Letter of thanks from our organization
• Postage and an envelope if you want to send out the packet yourself
• Listing on the Web site thanking the recipient for his or her kindness and naming the recipient as "Honorary Dogfather" (optional)

If you are interested, please send an email to HedgesvilleHound@aol.com and we'll start the (simple) process. For samples of our materials, visit http://hometown.aol.com/hedgesvillehound/DogFather.html .It's too late for Father's day, but any time is a good time to sponsor a worthy dog.
