August is Make-A-Will Month — a reminder to plan for the people, pets and causes that matter most to you.
At PAWS NY, we see every day just how much our pets mean to us. They are family, companions, and an important part of the lives we build. As you consider your own legacy, we invite you to keep PAWS NY in mind.
A planned gift of any size can make a lasting difference. Through a bequest in your will, a beneficiary designation, or another form of planned giving, your generosity can help provide essential pet care services to New Yorkers in need for years to come.
Make sure you're planning for your own pet too. If you don’t have a trusted family member or friend who can take responsibility for your pet, PAWS NY is developing a program to help supporters plan for their pet’s future. This may include making arrangements in advance for PAWS NY to take your pet into our care and find them a safe, loving home if the need arises.
Whether you're considering a gift to PAWS NY in your estate plans or thinking about who will care for your pet in the future, planning ahead can provide peace of mind and make a lasting difference!
