Nestle Purina Memories Garden, The Development and Alumni Office in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota

The bond between people and their pets is special – and unique.  Our pets enrich our lives everyday, in obvious and subtle ways.  Whether it is an affectionate rub from your purring cat, or the concerned look you get from your dog, pets provide warmth and companionship just when we need it most.  Over the years, a very special relationship develops.  When the time comes, it can be difficult and painful to say goodbye.

Treasure your Memories
Keep the fond memories alive now and forever.  The University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center invites you to create a lasting legacy in memory of your pet.  Purchase a brick engraved with your own special inscription honoring your pet’s life and your special relationship. 

With a gift of $250 or $500 (depending on brick size), a brick engraved with your unique inscription will become a permanent part of the garden.

Your gift helps to provide:

•    Quiet outdoor space for pet owners and their pets

•    Continued advancement and access to cutting-edge veterinary medicine

•    Emergency services available for 24-hour patient care
