Give in Honor or Memory
Some lives leave paw prints on our hearts forever. Whether it’s a beloved pet, a family member, or a dear friend, making a gift in their honor or memory is a meaningful way to keep their love alive while helping animals who are still waiting for a second chance.

A Gift from the Heart
Tribute and memorial gifts to The Animal Foundation are more than kind gestures—they’re lifesaving acts. Every donation made in honor of someone special helps provide shelter, medical care, and love to lost and homeless animals at the nation’s highest-volume, single-site animal shelter.
Your gift will:
- Create a legacy of compassion in their name
- Celebrate a birthday, wedding, or milestone
- Express gratitude for someone’s kindness
- Honor the life of a cherished person or pet
Share the Impact with a Personalized Notification
When you make your secure gift online, you can let your honoree—or their loved ones—know about your thoughtful tribute:
Memorial e-card – Sent to the recipient’s inbox
Mailed tribute card – A printed card sent to the address of your choice
In the “Tribute Information” section of your gift form, simply include:
- The name of the person or animal you are honoring
- The name of the person you’d like us to notify
- Their email or mailing address
If no notification is needed, just write “no card needed” when you make your gift.
Your tribute today is more than a memory—it’s a meal, a warm bed, a lifesaving surgery, and a brighter tomorrow for an animal who needs it most.
