A gift to North Shore Animal League America through your will or living trust is a powerful statement of your support for the Animal League's mission.

As an animal lover, a bequest through a will or trust document is a powerful declaration of the love and compassion you have for homeless animals, who are the most vulnerable and gentle among us. A bequest is a wonderful way to ensure that your legacy will make a difference for thousands of animals who will need our help in the future to find safe and loving homes.

Below you will find sample language which you can share with your Attorney or Estate Planner. Simply include this language in your estate document and you can be assured that you played a major role in the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of thousands of needy animals.
