When the McParlan family lost their beloved horse, Krown on the Rox, they decided to create something positive to honor his memory. The Krown on the Rox Memorial Scholarship, established in May of 2022, will help relieve some of the financial pressure for students who have a love of horses as they work towards becoming veterinarians.

Meet the 2022 Philanthropists of the Year, Alan Kalter and Dr. Chris Lezotte, who funded two endowed professorships (theriogenology and genomics) and established the HappyLegs Fund at the Hospital, which provides financial help for owners with dogs that require life-saving care.

Dr. Renée Alsarraf (DVM ’91) treated cancer in canine patients for more than two decades. Then, at age 51, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. Upon receiving her diagnosis, dogs were a unique source of unconditional love for Alsarraf. She wrote about this experience and more in her book, Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well.
