Your promise to animals in need – help us to be there in the future
The compassion you show in life can have a lasting impact on the lives of animals around the world. By leaving a gift in your Will to support ongoing animal protection, you are helping to create a kinder future for animals. Your legacy will help support our important work to reveal suffering, rescue more animals in need and protect them. And it will bring us one step closer to a world where people treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.
Sylvie, a true animal lover – and friend – has included a gift in her Will to FOUR PAWS to make sure that her passion for animals lives on when she is no longer here to look after the causes that she cares about. “Animals have a soul, but they don’t have a lobby.”
What to consider when writing your Will
Whether you’re writing your first Will or simply updating your current Will, including a gift to FOUR PAWS (VIER PFOTEN International) is a meaningful yet easy way to create your legacy.
