HOW TO SUPPORT

There are many ways you can support DC SIR to care for current foster dogs, and commit to taking in more.

As a non-profit, we rely on donations to continue operating, but there are also other methods of supporting our general foster and special medical funds!

1. Donate

All proceeds go to the dogs we take in, and the necessities of running a rescue. That includes food, veterinary bills, spaying/neutering, medications, and transport fees. Clicking on the donate button below will take you to a Paypal page where you can make a secure donation.

2. Foster (Foster program is currently suspended)

DC SIR provides everything for our foster dogs, including but not limited to: food, toys, crates, vetting, and any necessary medications. If you are interested in fostering, please download, fill out, and submit an application. You can mail your completed foster application to fosters@dcsir.org.

3. Treat a dog to something off our Amazon Wishlist

Our much-needed items are listed, and you can pick and choose what you'd like to provide.

DC SIR has a variety of positions available for dedicated volunteers who would like to help us in our quest to save the lives of Shiba Inus!

5. Share a Dog’s Story

If you see a Shiba in need of funds or a home, consider sharing their story on social media.
