Include PetRescue in your Will

“I really want to help rescue pets in a lasting way, and leaving a bequest to PetRescue in my Will is a great way to do this. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that, if something should happen to me, PetRescue will ensure my own adopted fur kids are cared for.” – Jo

By including a gift to PetRescue in your Will (called a bequest) you can help start many life-changing journeys for rescue pets and for families looking to adopt. And, ultimately, you’ll help create a future where every pet is safe, respected and loved.

Your bequest can be in honour of yourself, or a beloved pet to fund any PetRescue initiative of your choice – view our work, programs and services here. And in the event of your passing, PetRescue will ensure that your legacy makes a lasting difference and your pets are cared for.

Our pledge to take care of your pets

Should the need arise, PetRescue will take responsibility for ensuring your pets are resettled into a loving new home. We’ll work with our nationwide network of rescue groups to find a foster carer who will provide all the care your pets need until they are matched with a new family.
