Last week, The Cornell Margaret and Richard Riney Canine Health Center was unveiled, giving hope to dog lovers eager to see more research focused on canine diseases.

“We know personally the importance and benefits of the relationships humans form with animals, especially with our pets,” Richard Riney said. “We wanted to support far-ranging research initiatives that may help dogs live their best lives, while recognizing that research into the canine condition can help to advance human medicine.”

As the end of the calendar year and Season of Giving approaches, please consider a gift to support the College of Veterinary Medicine. Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated, and help the college continue to help educate the next generation of veterinarians and scientists, who in turn will help improve the lives of animals and the people who love and care for them. Thank you, and Happy Holidays!
