The Butler Garden at UGA Veterinary Hospital

The Butler Garden, built beside the emergency building of the UGA Vet school, was created for pet owners needing respite and reflection of their relationship with their furry friend. This peaceful place made with brick, granite, and steel plaques that commemorate donors of the Vet School is perfect for sitting and having a moment with your pet, whether physically present or in your heart. The garden began its build in April 2019 and finished this past March by the Koons Environmental Design group.

Take a scavenger hunt and count how many bronze cats and dogs you find. Are there more cat or dog statues at this memorial?

Sit by the fountain after reading the plaques and think about all the impact of pets on your life. Did they have silly names? If you could have any pet now, what would it be and why?
