Gifts In Memory

When someone in your life passes on, it can be comforting to commemorate them their way. Whether it’s for a special person or a special pet, celebrating their life through the causes they cared about is a touching way to preserve their spirit.

Funeral Gifts
We’re always grateful for funeral collections or refer gifts to our charity. By providing veterinary care, food, shelter, and enrichment to our dogs and cats you’re not only helping us in our cause, you’re leaving a legacy of love for that special person in your life.
