Include a gift in your Will

The difference a gift in your Will can make

Gifts in Wills (also known as bequests) from thoughtful people like you make a huge difference to the lives of lost animals

These special gifts fund more than a third of the compassionate care that The Lost Dogs’ Home provides to lost, abandoned and neglected cats and dogs.

The money we receive from thoughtful gifts in Wills helps to provide love, protection and care for thousands of lost animals that come through our doors each year.

Leaving even a small percentage of your estate as a bequest gift can make a profound and lasting difference to the lives and happiness of vulnerable animals in need of our help in the years to come.

A kind gift included your Will can help to create a more loving future for cats and dogs in our community. With kind-hearted friends and animal-lovers like you, The Lost Dogs’ Home will continue to share the gift of love with animals and humans alike – for many years to come.

By including The Lost Dogs’ Home in your Will:

  • You will help to reunite lost pets with their families who love them.
  • You will find safe, loving ‘forever homes’ for animals that need them.
  • Your gift will provide life-saving care to sick and injured animals.
  • You will help traumatised animals learn to love and be loved again.
  • You will give animals safe, loving foster homes allowing them to rehabilitate and recover.

It’s Easy to Turn Lost into Loved.

Include A Charity Campaign and The Lost Dogs’ Home

The Lost Dogs’ Home is proud to be a member of The Include a Charity campaign. Over 100 Australian charities have joined forces to create a national social change movement all about inspiring more people to leave a bequest gift to charities in Will.  The campaign is designed to start more conversations about the importance of creating a Will – it raises awareness of the powerful difference you can make by leaving legacy gifts to support the charities and not-for-profit organisations that you care about.

Including bequest gifts to your favourite charities and causes in your Will is one of the most thoughtful ways for you to ensure that your special support for dogs and cats can continue long after you’ve gone.

You don’t need to be wealthy to include a bequest gift to your favourite charities in your Will. No matter what type of gift your leave, you can create a powerful legacy, honouring your connection and commitment to creating a better world for lost animals in the future.
