LEGACY GIVING
WHY LEGACY GIVING MATTERS
By including The DogFather Rescue in your Will, you can create a lasting legacy that transforms the lives of dogs in need.
Your kindness can rescue dogs from neglect, provide safety and healing, and give them a second chance at a happy life. Whether your bequest is large or small, it helps us continue our life-saving work for years to come.
Your legacy gift will help us:
-
Rescue and rehabilitate abandoned, surrendered, or neglected dogs
-
Provide vital vet care, including vaccinations, desexing, and medical treatment
-
Offer safe shelter, nourishing food, and daily enrichment
-
Rehome dogs into loving, forever families
-
Educate the community about responsible pet ownership
-
Sustain our rescue work across the region, ensuring no dog is forgotten
A gift in your Will is more than a donation, it’s a statement of enduring compassion. It creates a sustainable source of support, allowing us to plan for the future while ensuring your love for animals lives on through every life saved.
💛 How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

“I give to The DogFather Rescue (ABN [insert ABN]), the sum of $__ (or __% of my estate or the residue of my estate), to be used for its general purposes. I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer shall be a full discharge to my executor.”
We recommend seeking legal advice to ensure your wishes are clearly and correctly documented.
