Will or Estate Plan Contribution:
A bequest through your will or estate plan leaves a legacy of love for the rescue and rehoming of homeless Lucky Dogs and Cats.
IRA & Retirement Plan Contribution:
Gifts from a retirement plan are simple to arrange. Designate Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to receive all or a portion of the balance of your funds when you no longer need them. This may allow you to give more, while leaving heirs other assets that may be taxed at lower rates.
Life Insurance Policy Beneficiary:
Gifts of a life insurance policy or proceeds of a policy that are no longer needed to protect a loved one can also be excellent ways to give. You may be able to use life insurance to "replace" assets you donate to charity, allowing you to provide for your loved ones and your charitable interests. Name Lucky Dog Animal Rescue as owner or beneficiary on your life insurance policy.
Charitable Remainder Trust:
A gift that provides you with immediate tax savings along with generous, lifetime payments, such as a charitable remainder trust, can be another way to give while maintaining or enhancing financial security. The Charitable Remainder Trust is structured so that there is a current beneficiary, who is either the donor or a named individual, and a remainder beneficiary, which is a qualified charity.

Don't forget about your pets!
One of the toughest decisions when creating an estate plan can be what to do with pets after your lifetime. Legally, pets are a person's property and can be directed to any given beneficiary. However, it is often much more complicated because a lot of love and energy is needed to properly care for our four legged family members. Create a plan and think of at least two people who could act as caretakers of your pets in case of an emergency or should permanent care become needed.
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue appreciates all forms of donations. Monetary donations are gratefully accepted and can easily be set to recur automatically. Share the Luck by making a donation to save Lucky Dogs and Cats. Many choose to make donations in honor or memory of a friend, relative or pet, and they make excellent birthday or holiday gifts. Leave a lasting legacy of love.
