Tributes

Tributes (Honors and Memorials)

Contributions in any amount, given in honor or in memory of a person or animal will be acknowledged with a card. Please provide the name of the honoree, the name and address of the individual(s) to be notified, and your name as it should appear on an acknowledgement. Tributes will be listed in the next printed edition of Animal Crackers, the Society’s newsletter.

Tribute Board

Located in The Anti-Cruelty Society’s Adoption Center lobby, the Tribute Board provides lasting recognition. For a gift of $500, we will include your beloved pet's or a person's name on the board. Names are listed in chronological order as received.

Kitty/Canine Condos

A gift of $750 provides annual care, food, and medication for the animals that pass through one of our Adoption Room kennels. A small plaque will be placed on the kennel, worded as you choose, recognizing your gift for a period of one year. Many people renew their condos each year; the plaque’s copy may be changed at that time if you wish.

Group contributions are welcome—celebrate a loved one’s birthday, wedding, graduation, baht mitzvah, or other occasion with a year’s worth of recognition while helping to care for deserving animals on their way to their new permanent, loving homes.

Lenore Shapiro Adoption Garden

The Lenore Shapiro Adoption Garden is named in the memory of a caring friend of the Society. The garden provides a lovely, picturesque setting for potential adopters to socialize with dogs or contemplate their cat adoption. A gift of $1,000 underwrites a personalized wall tile in the garden. A larger contribution underwrites a planter. Gifts to the Adoption Garden assist in the maintenance of the garden as well as animal care.
