Many thanks to all the
generous donors who have helped so much already! We and all the animals
really appreciate your support!
Although our shelters have closed, we
are still gratefully accepting donations to help with the expenses
incurred in the shelter efforts and by the SVM in caring for hospitalized
animals. There are several avenues, all tax-deductible, for potential
donors to consider, which are listed below:
Donate to LSU SVM's hurricane
relief efforts
-
Donate online
The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of
Missouri-Columbia has graciously provided a means of accepting online
donations on behalf of LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, which
has provided
medical care for any
pets housed at the shelter that required surgery,
hospitalization, or more intensive treatment that could be administered
on site. When you click either link
below, you will be taken to the CVM's web site, where they have a secure
server for donations.
Spirit of Veterinary Medicine Hurricane Relief Fund
This fund is administered through the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine
and will be used to provide support for animals affected by hurricanes.
All donations are tax-deductible.
John D. Rhoades Veterinary Student Support Fund
This fund benefits LSU veterinary students who
find themselves in a financial crisis either now or down the road due to
them and their families having lost jobs and
so much of what they own in this disaster. All donations
are tax-deductible.
- Donate by phone
To make a credit card donation to either of these
funds by phone, please call 225-578-9870, 225-578-4023, or
