How It Works

01

Make a tribute gift

Donate any amount in memory of your pet through our secure PayPal link. Every dollar goes directly to medical care for animals in need.

02

Share their story

Use the form below to tell us about your pet — their name, their personality, and what made them so special to you.

03

We honor their memory

Your pet's name will be added to our Memorial Wall, and your gift will be dedicated in their honor to a rescue animal receiving care.

04

Their legacy lives on

You'll receive a tribute acknowledgment letter confirming your gift and the animal whose care it supported.

A note on tax deductibility

ZU1 Foundation NP is a nonprofit organization registered in the State of Illinois with a pending IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status application. Once our exemption is officially awarded, all donations made during the pending period — including your memorial gift — will be retroactively tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. We encourage you to consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility in the interim.
