A happy dog with its mouth open stands on a blue court scattered with yellow balls, while more balls are visible in the blurred background.

Pickleball clubs usually sell memberships for their guests. At Always &amp; Furever&#39;s Pickle 4 Paws space, we&#39;re doing something a little more special. They&#39;re called Joy Drops. For $20, you sponsor a 20-minute play session for a rescue dog or cat on our private pickleball court, releasing 200 pickleballs all for them. It&#39;s joy, enrichment, and one-on-one attention, for one very deserving rescue friend. It&rsquo;s a chance to get out the extra zoomies, show off their wonderful personality, and hopefully increase their chances of getting fostered/adopted. It is the best gift you could give them. Your $20 also supports the incredible work our Always &amp; Furever Wichita team does every day: caring for animals and giving them the best life possible while they wait for their furever families.

Always & Furever

Would you like to sponsor a Joy Drop for a cat or dog? If sponsoring more than one joy drop, this answer will apply to all sponsorships.

Staff pick — surprise me with a friend who needs extra joy!

I have someone specific in mind (does not apply to recurring sponsorships)

Would you like staff to pick the animal you're sponsoring, or do you have a specific Wichita shelter animal in mind? NOTE: If sponsoring monthly, we'll default to staff pick each month, matching your Joy Drop to whichever animal in our care could use it most.

If you selected "specific animal," please list their name below.

Would you like to attend your joy drop(s) (during shelter hours, based on animal care staff/volunteer availability)?

What name would you like us to use to recognize your sponsorship (please put "anonymous" if you would not like to be recognized).
