Dolores McCall Pet Tribute Garden
Create a Permanent Legacy for a Beloved Companion
The Dolores McCall Pet Tribute Garden, a gift from the PVM Class of 1972, located near the entrance to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s Small Animal Hospital, provides an opportunity for you to honor the human-animal bond and pay tribute to your animal companions with a permanent legacy.
The garden is designed to provide a peaceful walkway of ref ection surrounded by trees, plants and boulders. A wrought iron trellis denotes the entryway into the garden while a gravel path leads to a central area that contains a four-sided, six-foot tall brick monument. Each side of the monument displays personalized bronze plaques in three dif erent sizes.
You can commemorate a beloved pet with a plaque featuring personal words of tribute. Any animal companion may be honored.
