Leave a Gift in Your Will: A Legacy of Compassion for Animals in Need

If you’ve ever come home to a wagging tail or a cat curled up on your side of the bed, you already know what animals give us. A gift in your Will to the Peterborough Humane Society turns that love into something that lasts. It gives animals in Peterborough and beyond a second chance, long after you’re gone.

Why a Gift in Your Will Matters

PHS is a registered charity and we operate without government funding. Everything we do for animals waiting for their people, and for the people who love them, is possible because this community shows up. As we celebrate our 85th birthday this year, the people who plan ahead are the reason we can keep going.

Two Ways Your Gift Can Help

Your legacy can make a difference in whichever way matters most to you.

• Support our daily work. Your gift can help us care for animals at the shelter and connect more people with pets.
• Invest in our future. Your gift can help build a fund that lets us grow our programs and respond to urgent needs, like new equipment or facility improvements.

It’s Simpler Than You Might Think

Leaving a gift in your Will doesn’t change how you live today, and it doesn’t take anything away from your family or your own pets. You set it up with your lawyer or estate planner, and you can update it whenever life changes. Every gift matters, whatever its size.
