A memorial introduces the family to the fund that helps New Yorkers afford
veterinary care — and those families are who keep it going.

Give each family their link
Each memorial stays unfinished until that family opens their link and adds their own words. Nothing is sent automatically — passing these on is the step that completes them.
Copies a list of every pet and link, ready to paste.
Or send them to yourself
We’ll email you one message per pet, each with that family’s draft
and link, so you can forward them straight from your own mailbox.

Red means the family was never given their link — that one is yours to fix today.

Privacy & confidentiality
This program is built to protect everyone involved — you, your client, and
their pet’s memory.
Your gift also gives the family an opportunity — never an obligation —
to support their regional Veterinary Care Fund. We recognize that they are your
client, and we communicate with care.
Nothing is public without consent. No information appears on the Legacy
Wall until the pet owner approves it.
Mailing details are never kept. If you ask us to send a card, the name
and address are used solely to mail it, then deleted from our records. We act as
your agent in handling that confidential information.
Easy, secure access for owners. Families get a password-less link they
can return to whenever they wish. It does not expire.
Respectful follow-up. If an owner chooses to contribute or opt in for
updates, they hear from us no more than twice a year.
NYSVMS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible to the
full extent of the law. A receipt is emailed once your donation is processed.
