Memorials and Tributes
Some animals leave paw prints that last a lifetime. Whether you're honoring a beloved companion or celebrating someone special, a tribute gift creates hope for animals who need it most.
Honoring Loved Ones
When you dedicate your donation, you can honor a family member, friend, neighbor, co-worker, or furry friend by providing compassionate care to our community’s vulnerable pets.
Kennel Sponsorship Program
Sponsoring a kennel helps cover the daily expenses for the dogs, cats, and rabbits in our care. Your support provides nourishing food, essential medical supplies, and cleaning materials to keep pets healthy and safe from illness.
It’s also a meaningful way to get involved, whether you’re a business looking to reach a broader audience with a kennel plaque seen by thousands each year, or a family wanting to honor the memory of a loved one.
As a year-long kennel sponsor, you receive:
- A customized plaque to be seen by 20,000 visitors annually
- Quarterly email updates about a pet currently housed in the kennels
- The joy of knowing your sponsorship provides food, care, and comfort for hundreds of pets throughout the year.
Once we receive your submission, a member of our team will reach out to guide you through the next steps, answer any questions, and help finalize your kennel sponsorship. Thank you for making a difference for the pets in our care!
Love Lives Forever Memorial Wall
Remember your cherished pet with a custom, annual tile on the Love Lives Forever Memorial wall at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County.
Your donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of shelter pets in need of food, medical care, love, and a second chance on their journey to a loving home. Each 4″ x 5″ tile, displayed for one year in our shelter lobby, offers a beautiful way to honor the lasting paw print your pet left on your heart. After one year, you may choose to renew your display or take your plaque home as a cherished keepsake.
Once your donation is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to submit your photo. Please note that the memorial wall is intended to display photos of pets only and not humans and only one pet may be honored per tile.
