Mission
 
The Pet Tribute honors the human-animal bond by supporting the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University
 

Making a difference
 
When a contribution is made to the Pet Tribute, a sympathy letter is sent to the pet owner informing them a gift has been made in memory of their animal companion. The names of the pet, owner and donor are recorded in a memorial book which is displayed in the K-State Veterinary Medical Library.

This act of kindness is a way to remember our loved ones as we celebrate one of life’s greatest pleasures: animal companionship.
