Planned Giving Saves Lives

Leave a lasting legacy for pets in need.

When you include Augusta Regional SPCA in your financial or estate planning, you help ensure that local pets for adoption receive lifelong care, shelter, and love. Your planned gift supports our animal shelter adoption programs, spay/neuter clinic, and SPCA services that save lives across Augusta County and beyond.

Why Choose Planned Giving?

Animals have no safety net in society—no voices of their own. At Augusta Regional SPCA, we speak for them. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome adoptable dogs, cats, and rabbits while advocating for humane treatment and preventing neglect and abuse.

By adding us to your estate or trust, you:

🐾 Provide ongoing care for shelter animals

🐾 Fund affordable spay and neuter services

🐾 Ensure animal shelter adoption programs thrive

🐾 Improve both animal welfare and human wellbeing in our community
