Honor a Pet You've Loved and Lost
The ZU1 Memorial Scholarship allows you to honor the memory of a beloved pet who has passed. Your tribute gift helps cover critical medical costs — surgeries, emergency care, and treatments — for dogs and cats in need who might not otherwise receive the care they deserve.
Make a tribute gift
Donate any amount in memory of your pet. Every dollar goes directly to medical care for animals in need.
Share their story
Tell us about your pet — their name, their personality, what made them special. We will honor their memory with care.
Their legacy lives on
Your gift funds life-saving medical treatment for a rescue animal, ensuring your pet's love continues to ripple forward.
You can add your pet's name and a tribute message in the PayPal notes field.
