YOUR LEGACY CAN BECOME PART OF THEIR STORY
Every animal who comes through SHAID's doors has a different story. Some need a safe place to recover. Some need veterinary care. Some need time, patience and a second chance to find the right home.
Your legacy gift can help SHAID continue providing hope, care and second chances.

THE SHAID LEGACY SOCIETY
Leave a lasting legacy of compassion.
When you include SHAID in your will or estate plans, you help build a future where animals will continue to have somewhere to turn. You don't have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. A specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or another planned gift can make a difference.
Together, we can make a lasting difference.
LEAVING A LEGACY CAN BE SIMPLE
You don't need to make all of your decisions today.

We provide the information your professional advisor will need.
If you choose to remember SHAID, we'd be honoured to thank you and welcome you to our Legacy Society.
WAYS TO LEAVE A LEGACY
GIFT IN YOUR WILL
Leave SHAID a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
RRSPs, RRIFs & TFSAs
You may be able to name SHAID as a beneficiary of certain registered accounts.
LIFE INSURANCE
A life insurance policy can be another way to create a meaningful future gift.
SECURITIES & OTHER ASSETS
​
Depending on your circumstances, securities and other assets may provide additional options.
Your lawyer or financial advisor can help you determine which option is best for you.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR PETS?
Plan for their future, too.
If you have beloved pets, one of the most important gifts you can give them is a plan for their care if you are no longer able to provide it. If you don't have a trusted friend or family member who can care for your pets, you can make arrangements in advance for SHAID to provide care and help find them a suitable new home.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP
If you're considering remembering SHAID in your estate plans, we'd be happy to answer questions about the information we can provide to you and your professional advisors.
