and Pet Trusts

Make a lasting difference for companion animals in need while ensuring the pets you love are cared for.  

Leave a Lasting Legacy of Love

A legacy gift makes a lasting difference.  It costs nothing today and can save the lives of companion animals and support pet families for generations to come.

  • Include Rancho Coastal Humane Society in your living will or trust
  • Name Rancho Coastal Humane Society as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
  • Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds
  • Create a pet trust to ensure your beloved pets are cared for, according to your expressed wishes

Pet Trusts

Ensure your beloved pets are cared for, no matter what the future holds.  

Your pets are family, and a pet trust can provide lifelong care and peace of mind.  If you do not have someone to care for your pets, Rancho Coastal Humane Society can provide them with a safe, loving place until we can find them a new forever home.
