Leaving a Legacy of Love – Support Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK

Leaving a legacy to Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK is one of the most meaningful and compassionate ways to support our life saving work for years to come. Your gift no matter how large or small will help ensure we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Jack Russell Terriers in need across the UK.

Why Leave a Legacy?

Jack Russells are one of the most overbred breeds in the UK, and sadly, this means more and more of them end up abandoned, neglected, or surrendered to rescues. Every single day, we receive urgent calls to take in dogs who need our help far more than we have space or funding for. We wish we could say yes to them all.

As a non profit Organization, we rely entirely on donations and legacies to continue our work. By leaving a gift in your Will, you give us the power to say “yes” more often, and to step in when no one else can.

Your legacy will live on in every tail wag, every warm bed, and every life saved.

How to Leave a Legacy

It’s simple to leave a gift to Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK in your Will. You don’t have to rewrite your entire Will – a Codicil (a simple legal form) can be added with help from your solicitor.

Who Will Care for My Dog When I’m Gone?

Your dog is part of your family, and we understand how important it is to ensure they are safe and loved when you’re no longer here. Unless clear plans are made, pets are often left to relatives who may not be able to care for them, leaving them vulnerable to neglect, abandonment, or worse.

By including a simple clause in your Will, you can ensure your dog is looked after by a rescue that shares your love for animals.

Our Lifetime Care Legacy Programme

If you name Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK in your Will, you are automatically part of our Lifetime Care Legacy. This means that should anything happen to you, we will take in your dog, provide them with loving care, and find them the right forever home. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved pet will be safe.

Suggested Wording for Pet Care in Your Will

“It is also my wish that Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK cares for and/or rehomes my dog at the time of my death.”

Thank You

Every legacy gift we receive helps us continue our vital work. From all the little Jack Russells whose lives will be changed because of your kindness thank you.
