Leave a Legacy

Help Hounds for Generations to Come

Leaving a gift in your Will to Greyhound Rescue Wales is a powerful way to ensure that vulnerable greyhounds and lurchers will be safe, loved, and protected long into the future. It’s a lasting act of kindness that reflects your love for animals and your belief in second chances.

Even a small gift can make a big difference.

Why Leave a Legacy?

Every year, thousands of greyhounds and lurchers across the UK and Ireland need rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming. Your legacy can make a long-lasting difference by helping to cover some of these costs, as well as invest in the future of these amazing dogs. Just some of the things your legacy could help to pay for include:

  • Essential veterinary treatment for things like broken legs, serious health conditions and more.
  • Maintaining and upgrading our kennel accommodation.

  • Funding our animal ambulances for collecting and transporting dogs.

  • Covering costs for foster homes like food, equipment and transportation.

  • Paying for ongoing support for dogs that have lifelong medical complications.

Not every rescue is able to fund such extensive rehabilitation as we do, and we are very often the last chance for a lot of our dogs. We receive no money from government and no money from the greyhound racing industry, which means we are reliant on the generosity of our amazing supporters to continue our work.

The Different Types of Gifts You Can Leave

There are several ways you can remember Greyhound Rescue Wales in your Will. Two of the most common types are:

Pecuniary Gift
A fixed sum of money. For example, you might decide to leave £500 or £5,000 to Greyhound Rescue Wales. This amount stays the same over time (though you can update it if you wish).

Residuary Gift
A percentage of what remains in your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid. Many people choose this option because it automatically keeps pace with inflation and ensures your loved ones are provided for first. Even leaving just 1% of your estate can help transform the lives of greyhounds in need.

A Simple Act, a Lasting Impact

You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy, just passionate about helping animals in need. After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, including a gift to Greyhound Rescue Wales in your Will is a beautiful way to keep your compassion alive for years to come.
