Including a Gift in Your Will
Like you, everyone here at The Lost Dogs’ Home understands there’s nothing quite so special as the wonder of loving a pet – and being loved unconditionally by them in return.
But so many cats and dogs miss out on this wonderful feeling because they are lost, abandoned, mistreated or abused. Tragically, these vulnerable animals are living without the love they so desperately need to survive and thrive.
Including a thoughtful bequest gift to The Lost Dogs’ Home in your Will is one of the most powerful things you can do to help create a kinder world for frightened and vulnerable pets. They all need a safe, loving place to call home.
