A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Dog Rescue in Western Australia!

As a not-for-profit organisation, K9 Rescue Group relies almost entirely on the generosity and support of our local community. Bequests have been instrumental in enabling us to provide vital services and care for surrendered and abandoned dogs in need. Your legacy can make a profound difference in the lives of these animals.

The Impact of Bequests

Thanks to the kindness of supporters who have included K9 Rescue Group in their Will, we’ve been able to:

  • Rescue, train and rehome dogs in desperate need
  • Cover expensive operations and provide top-notch veterinary care
  • Offer mental stimulation, enrichment, and exercise yards for our canine friends
  • Build new accommodation for our furry residents
  • Most importantly, provide dogs with the love, care, and second chance they deserve, helping them find their forever homes

A Lasting Legacy

By including K9 Rescue Group in your Will, you’ll be leaving a legacy for dog rescue in Western Australia. We’d be honoured to recognise your contribution with a plaque in our Memorial Garden, bearing your name.

Options for Leaving a Legacy
When making or renewing your Will, consider supporting K9 Rescue Group in one of the following ways:

  • Donate a specific monetary amount
  • Gift a particular property
  • Leave a share of your residuary estate

Your legal advisor can guide you through these options.

Caring for Your Beloved Pet

If you’re no longer able to care for your furry friend, K9 Rescue Group may be able to provide the them with a forever home by rehoming them into a loving family.

Maxine’s Legacy 🕊️🤍

We would like to honour the life and legacy of a very special member of the K9 family, Maxine. 

Maxine was not only a wonderful supporter of K9 Rescue Group, but also a loving adopter who opened her heart and home to K9 dog Koda in 2024, along with her husband, son and daughter. 

A message from Maxine’s widower, Ian: 

“Maxine was an avid follower of K9 and was always re-posting your news feeds and appeals for homes for different dogs. We would have a house full if we didn’t control ourselves. We already have 3 dogs, co-parent my sons Dalmatian whilst he’s away, 3 cats and a large block to look after! 

Koda has been an absolute god-send. He is such a calm, quiet, loving boy, Maxine fell in love with him when she first saw him in your post and I don’t think anything was going to stand in her way to get him. He is very much loved and so enjoyed his evening cuddles with Max. Her passing has been a big adjustment for the dogs as well.

Maxine has the Volunteer paperwork at home and was adamant she was going to apply to help volunteer at K9 in some small way. Unfortunately working shifts, full time, unpredictable hours always seem to get in the way.

I am so glad you are happy with the donation. My daughter started a Go Fund Me account for Maxine so people were able to donate towards her favourite charities instead of buying flowers. We also gave a donation to the North Dandalup Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade. Again an amazing and essential organisation and one so many people volunteer their time and time away from families to help and serve the community. 

We wanted to give to local charities that we knew would directly benefit from the money and would be put to worthy and direct use instead of being swallowed up in corporate administration.

My only wish is that Maxine was there to hand the cheque over to you directly. I know this is what she would have wanted and she would be so proud of what we have been able to do.

Please send our best wishes to all of the staff and our love to all of the future Kodas looking for their forever homes. You are all doing an amazing job.”

For anyone who feels inspired by Maxine’s story and would like their own love for rescue dogs to continue into the future, information about leaving a gift to K9 Rescue Group in your will is available by contacting our team. 

Maxine’s generosity and love for rescue dogs will never be forgotten, and we feel incredibly privileged to carry her legacy forward 🤍🪽
