Leave Your Legacy

Planned Giving is your opportunity to make a statement of support for the homeless pets in our community. A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date, commonly donated through a will or trust. Planned giving does not have to complicated and it is not only for those with great wealth. It can be as simple as adding a one-line bequest to the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin in your will.
