Planned Giving

All living animals possess an intrinsic value which is manifested in their creation, and that those that can must become responsible stewards of their care. A planned gift helps ensure our long-term financial health and allows us to continue our mission.
Here are ways to leave a legacy. Also, after you have made a planned gift in our name, please let Nicole know at nicole@guayaboanimalresscue.org.
