Let your love for animals continue
Leave a gift in your will to help rescued animals who need emergency veterinary treatment, long rehabilitation or a safe home for life.
You decide whether a gift is right for you and what form it takes. You remain in control and may change your plans at any time using the legal formalities that apply to you.
No obligation. We will not add you to fundraising communications unless you ask us to.The right entity and wording depend on your circumstances.
Your habitual residence, nationalities and where your assets are located may affect the applicable law, tax treatment and the organisation that should be named in your will.
Contact us for the institutional details relevant to your situation, and ask a qualified lawyer, notary or adviser to confirm the final wording.
Everything you need, in one practical guide.
Thinking about leaving a gift in your will can bring up a lot of questions. We have prepared a clear, practical guide that you can read privately, in your own time and without any obligation.
The emergency may last hours. Our responsibility can last a lifetime.
Some animals come to us with shattered bones, advanced disease or injuries requiring urgent specialist care. Others need months of rehabilitation. A number can never safely be adopted and remain under our protection for life.
That work continues long after the first rescue video ends. It means surgery, hospital care, rehabilitation, medication, daily supervision and a safe place to live.
A gift in your will helps protect that entire commitment.
It can give Let’s Adopt the means to care for animals already with us and to respond when the next serious case arrives, even when treatment is difficult, expensive or long.
The promise does not end when the camera stops.
When we take responsibility for an animal, that promise does not end after the operation. It includes complications, setbacks, rehabilitation and, when adoption is not possible, every year of care that follows.
If you are considering a legacy and want a straight answer to any question, write to us. You do not need to have decided anything and there will be no pressure.
Contacting us does not commit you to leaving a gift. You can simply ask a question.
Your plans remain yours and you may change them whenever you need to.
A qualified lawyer, notary or adviser should prepare or update your will.
Would you like to support a particular area?
An unrestricted gift allows the team to use the funds where they are most needed when the gift is received.
You may instead express a preference for a particular part of our work.
Speak with us before making a restriction legally binding.
Programmes, facilities and the animals’ needs can change. A restriction that is too narrow may become impossible to fulfil, so please contact us before finalising the wording.
Protection from emergency treatment to lifelong care.
Specialist veterinary treatment
Diagnostics, surgery, hospitalisation and medication for animals with severe or complex conditions.
Rehabilitation and adoption
Daily care and the time each animal needs to recover and, whenever possible, move into a safe permanent home.
Care at The Great House
Food, medication, staff, facilities and veterinary supervision for older, fragile and permanent residents.
The next urgent rescue
Resources to respond when another animal needs immediate treatment and long-term protection.
Take the time you need.
You remain in control. You do not have to tell Let’s Adopt about your decision, and you may change your plans.
Decide what fits your plans
Provide for the people you love first and decide whether a legacy gift is right for you.
Ask us for the right details
We can provide the institutional information your adviser may need.
Speak with a professional
A lawyer, notary or qualified adviser should prepare or update your will.
Tell us only if you wish
You are under no obligation to inform Let’s Adopt about your plans.
Clear answers before you speak with your adviser.
This information is general and does not constitute legal or tax advice.
Do I need to be wealthy to leave a gift?
No. A gift can be a fixed sum, a percentage of what remains or another option suited to your circumstances.
Can I provide for my family first?
Yes. Your will should reflect your responsibilities and wishes for the people you love. Your adviser can then help you decide whether a charitable gift fits your plans.
Do I have to tell Let’s Adopt?
No. Your will is private, and telling us is entirely optional.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Including Let’s Adopt in your will does not transfer money during your lifetime. If your plans change, ask your legal adviser to update the document correctly.
Can my gift support The Great House or medical care?
You may express a preference. If you want it to be legally binding, speak with us before finalising the wording.
Can Let’s Adopt care for my own animals if I die?
A gift in your will does not by itself create an agreement for Let’s Adopt to care for your animals, and we cannot guarantee them a place through a will alone. Any specific arrangement must be discussed and formally agreed in advance.
Will my gift receive tax relief?
Tax treatment depends on your country, residence, estate and the recipient organisation. Let’s Adopt cannot promise a tax benefit. Ask a qualified legal or tax adviser.
Which organisation should I name in my will?
It depends on your habitual residence, nationalities and the countries where your assets are located. Contact us before signing so we can provide the details relevant to your situation.
Help us be ready when the next animal needs us.
A gift in your will can help make sure there is still a team ready to act when the next difficult case arrives — and able to stay for as long as that animal needs us.
General information, not legal or tax advice.
Succession and tax rules depend on your personal circumstances and the law that applies to your estate. Let’s Adopt can provide its institutional information, but an independent qualified professional should prepare or update your will and confirm the appropriate entity, wording and legal or tax consequences.
