How to include a bequest gift to the Home in your Will

Your love of animals can live on through including a thoughtful bequest gift in your Will to The Lost Dogs’ Home.

Your Will gives you peace of mind, knowing those you love and the causes you care about will be looked after when you are gone.

It is also a powerful opportunity to make sure your kindness and loving values can live on – providing compassionate care to lost, abandoned and neglected dogs and cats, long into the future.

Three simple steps are all it takes to make sure your love and compassion for animals and the memories of the love you shared with your own pets can live on:

1. Contact our Gifts in Wills Team for a friendly discussion on the many ways you can support the Home through including a gift in your Will for dogs and cats.
2. Discuss your final wishes and plans to support the Home through your Will with your loved ones.
3. Seek advice from your solicitor or a Trustee company to help you write or update your Will to include a bequest gift to The Lost Dogs’ Home (which is also the legal name of the charity)

If you prefer, you could use one of the online Will services that we’ve partnered with to write your Will online and leave bequest gifts to your favourite charities. Click here for more details.

Whichever way you choose to update your Will, rest assured that your kindness will make sure that the Home is always going to be around, providing unconditional love, compassionate care and support to lost, abandoned and neglected dogs and cats.

It’s so easy to leave a gift of love in your Will to help us care for the next generation of the most vulnerable animals.

Here is some suggested simple wording you may wish to consider using to kindly remember the Home in your Will:

“I give to The Lost Dogs’ Home, (ABN 84 004 789 726) of 2 Gracie Street, North Melbourne, Victoria 3051 a gift of (insert your choice of a figure) percent share of my residuary estate for its general purposes.”
