Thinking about writing a will can be overwhelming – none of us like the thought but it is the kind and thoughtful thing to do for your loved ones, both two and four legged. Ensure that your loved ones know what your final wishes are, and should you have a furry family member, please make plans for their care.
Become a Forever Guardian by remembering The BC SPCA animals in your Estate plans:
Once you have provided for your family, please consider becoming a Forever Guardian by leaving a gift in your will to the animals of The BC SPCA. You will ensure that the fight against animal cruelty continues and you will be giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Your bequest, large or small, will help to heal a frightened, hurt and hungry animal.
Estate Gifts welcomed:
We receive many calls from supporters asking if we will accept certain gifts. Thank you for your generosity and for thinking of the animals of the BC SPCA! We do accept the following gifts:
