Sponsorships
Mutts With A Mission is extremely grateful for the organizations that support our mission! These partnerships give us the ability to train more Service Dogs and change the lives of deserving heroes. If your company is interested in a sponsorship, please contact us.

In honor of the Purple Heart recipients that have been paired with our Service Dogs, our highest sponsorship tier is the Purple Level Program Sponsor. This tier involves a $60,000 donation (or higher) to Mutts With A Mission.
This donation allows us to cover the full cost of one Service Dog from the day it enters our program to the day it graduates - including the cost of purchasing the puppy, all food and vet bills, training, and specialized equipment (vests, mobility harnesses, etc). Alternatively, this money can be designated to be used towards furthering our facility programs such as developing a state-of-the-art training facility, breeding programs, kennels and boarding, and training or agility equipment!

Our Gold Level Class Sponsors involves a donation of $45,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
Once a Service Dog has completed our two-year training program and a Veteran, Wounded Warrior, Law Enforcement Officer, Federal Worker, or First Responder has been selected as a recipient, the two will be paired up and go through a two-week course called Transfer Camp. During this very important course, the handler and dog learn how to work as a team and build a lifelong bond. Again, this camp (including airfare and hotels) is completely free to our recipients. Our Gold Level Class Sponsorship will cover the cost of one of these graduation camps, which are typically held twice a year and include up to six graduating teams.
Alternatively, this donation can be used to start a new training class of puppies! Each “class” typically has 4-6 puppies at a time, so this donation tier is the perfect amount to set them up for success!
-
Our Silver Level Team Sponsors involves a donation of $30,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
The Silver Level Team Sponsor is just that – the opportunity to sponsor a Service Dog in Training over the course of our two-year training program. While this donation level doesn’t cover the full cost of training a Service Dog, it does over the costs associated with purchasing a puppy, the veterinary bills, preventative medications, spaying/neutering, some specialized equipment, as well as two years of food for the puppy. This is an incredible gift to give these dogs a great foundation to change the lives of Veterans, Wounded Warriors, Law Enforcement Officers, Federal Workers, and First Responders around the country.

Our Bronze Level Training Sponsors involves a donation of $15,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
This donation level allows us to continue the training of the Service Dogs in our program. We currently have over 43 puppies at different stages of training. Some dogs are focusing on the basics of obedience while some are already learning their advanced tasks to help their handler’s specific disabilities. Working so many dogs at different levels requires many training techniques as well as various types of equipment and gear.
We also have to get our puppies used to going out in public, including riding public transportation such as buses, trains, ferries, and airplanes or visiting different venues like museums, sporting events, restaurants, zoos, and movie theaters. It is essential to expose our dogs to any situation that they may experience after being paired with their recipient. Your donation helps pay for all of our teams to train in these environments, making sure they are well prepared to do their jobs after graduation!

Our Red Level Puppy Sponsors involves a donation of $10,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
This sponsorship level is a crowd favorite because who doesn’t love puppies? With this very generous donation, Mutts With A Mission is able to acquire a new puppy for our program and set it up for success! This sponsorship covers the cost of the puppy, the initial temperament assessments at 6 and 8 weeks old, the veterinary care assessments including hips and elbows (to ensure a long, healthy life), vaccinations, and preventative medications. It also allows us to give the puppy raisers (all volunteers!) a nice warm bed for the new puppy, a crate to train with, and any additional supplies needed to make the first week in their new home comfortable.
-
Our White Level Sustaining Sponsors involves a donation of $5,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
This sponsorship level allows Mutts With A Mission to sustain our current training programs. These funds can be used for a variety of purposes for our organization, making them incredibly versatile and important! We are always in need of new training equipment, office supplies, as well as dog toys and food. Alternatively, you can denote this money be used for a specific purpose or event!
-
Our Blue Level Contributing Sponsors involves a donation of $2,500 to Mutts With A Mission.
This sponsorship level allows you to contribute to the work we put into our Service Dogs in a very meaningful way. A donation of $2,500 covers the cost associated with one deserving Veteran, Wounded Warrior, Law Enforcement Officer, Federal Worker, or First Responder to attend our two-week Transition Camp, including all transportation and hotel costs. This course is where our recipients meet their Service Dogs for the first time and is where they begin bonding and learning how to work as a team! This Transition Camp costs nothing for the recipient, thanks to donations like yours!
-
Our Camouflage Level Supporting Sponsors involves a donation of $1,000 to Mutts With A Mission.
This sponsorship level is near and dear to our hearts because we were originally founded by an Army Veteran who proudly wore fatigues while serving our country. A donation of $1,000 covers the food that one of our Service Dogs in Training eats in a year or it can really help in case of an emergency vet visit! We pay for all of the food and vet bills while our dogs are completing their two years of training, so this sponsorship is very much appreciated!
