Pug in Arms

When you leave a gift in your Will to Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre, you help to ensure that we can continue to be here for every dog needing our support.  It allows us to care for them for as long as it takes to find them the homes they truly belong in, where they are treated with love, care and respect. A gift in your Will helps ensure their future.

A gift in your Will to Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre is a wonderful way to celebrate your love of dogs and leave a lasting legacy to dogs in need of help by giving them the second chance of happiness they deserve.   Gifts in Wills are vital to all areas of our work, so any gift you give, whatever size, will make a big difference to the animals in our care.

It is no secret that a major source of income for many charities comes from legacies.  As income from other activities and regular donations decline due to the general economic climate, it is more important than ever that any legacies bequeathed to us reaches us safely.

If you are thinking of leaving a lasting legacy to us you can help to make sure that it reaches us by:-

  • Make sure you specify our name correctly in your will, if you wish to make a bequeath - you should specify the bequeath should be made to, Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre, Dovecotewells, Glencaple, Dumfries, DG1  4RY - Charity Number SC031991 
  • Make sure your will meets the legal requirements set out by the nation in which you reside 
  • Make sure your loved ones know about your express wishes for your will and where to locate it in the event of your death

If you made a bequeath in your will to us more than 20 years ago please make sure that your will is updated to our correct charity details as shown in the first bullet above.  If the details are anything other than that shown in the first bullet above your bequeath is unlikely to reach us.  So don't delay, update today.
