The BARCS Pet Memorial Program offers a unique way to support your clients by honoring their pets with a memorial gift to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS). Your gift will share an expression of sympathy that demonstrates a commitment to your clients and their pets—and the lifesaving mission of Maryland’s largest animal shelter. A contribution to the Pet Memorial Program aids in the healing process when a pet passes away and offers an opportunity for your veterinary practice to acknowledge pain and loss in a meaningful way.
Upon receipt of your donation, BARCS will mail a personalized letter to your client, telling them of your generosity. The letter will read in part, “We received a generous financial contribution from name of your clinic/hospital in memory of your beloved pet, their pet’s name.”
We ask that veterinary partners in this program make a contribution of $15 or more per acknowledged pet. The form to do so is linked below and provides a quick and easy way to participate in this program.
BARCS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit (EIN: 86-1130456), meaning our lifesaving mission begins with private financial support. This program is championed by Dr. Jay McDonnell, DACVIM, a proud member of BARCS’ Board of Directors.
