Gifts in memory of an animal lover

A way to mark a life with something living. Many people choose the animal their person loved most — a donation in their name, caring for the kind of animal they cared about.

How does a gift in memory work?

A gift in memory is a donation made in the name of someone who has died — a person or a much-missed pet. You choose the care it funds, such as overwintering a hedgehog (£25) or a month of sanctuary for a donkey (£50), and receive a dedication certificate in their name.

Common questions

Can I make a donation in memory of a pet?

Yes. Gifts in memory of a dog, cat or any much-loved pet are among the most common. The dedication certificate carries the pet’s name and the care funded in their memory.

Is a memorial donation a one-off or ongoing?

Either. One-off gifts like a £25 hedgehog overwinter are complete in themselves; monthly sponsorships such as a £50 donkey sanctuary place continue care in someone’s name for as long as you choose.
