Planned Giving | Western Pennsylvania Humane Society

Do you love animals as much as we do? Why not consider making a planned gift to the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society? In doing so, you will create a legacy—a legacy of saving animals' lives, of reducing animal homelessness, of curing sick dogs and rescuing abandoned kittens. Putting us in your will is a way to ensure that future generations of dogs, cats, and rabbits will find a second chance at life.

General Bequests are legacies left to certain people or causes that come from the general value of the estate, and are made by designating a specific dollar amount, a particular asset or a fixed percentage of your estate to the cause of your choice.
