Tribute Tree
2023-11-05 13:00 - 15:00 UTC
We know the impact a beloved pet can make throughout our lifetime. Sunday, November 5th, we’d like to have a chance to come together and acknowledge those special loved ones that have left paw prints on our hearts.

Date: Sunday, November 5th, 2023
Time: 1 PM – 3 PM
Location: Tom Rinaldi Rec Center in East Hanover, NJ. (Off Eagle Rock Ave, across from Sorrento’s Bakery and the Hanover Manor.)

You are invited to come share memories, stories, and support others. We will recite a roster of pets being honored by their families. As each animal’s name is called, attendees will be handed a leaf that can be placed on the memorial tree. Once all names have been read, the tree will be lit in their honor.

You can purchase a memorial leaf tag online here: https://bit.ly/MPASTributeTree

Whether or not you are in attendance on November 5th, your pet’s name will be announced.

We also know that through our grief, new animals come into our lives. They help us heal, comfort us, and open our hearts again.

If you’d like to honor a living pet, please purchase an honor leaf tag here: https://bit.ly/MPASTributeTree

*Please be sure to write your pet’s name in the “comment” section of the form, as well as how many people will be in attendance that day.*

Memorial and honor leaves are $15 per pet. 100% of funds raised will be used in honor of your pet to support those who are waiting for their forever homes.
