Leaving a gift to The Hague Animal Centre
Your legacy, their future
For nearly 150 years, The Hague Animal Centre has been fully dedicated to stray cats and dogs from The Hague region. Every day, we offer not just shelter, but also intensive medical care and personal guidance toward a new home. Thanks to the support of committed animal lovers, we can continue to guarantee this care. Moreover, their contributions ensure we can act quickly when animals in need arrive. This is how we make a difference, step by step. We do this not only today, but especially with an eye on tomorrow.
Do you want to make a lasting impact? By leaving a gift to The Hague Animal Centre, you give animals in need not just a second chance, but also a safe future. This allows you to contribute structurally to shelter, treatment, and rehoming. As a result, we can continue to provide future generations of animals with the care, protection, and attention they deserve. This way, your commitment remains felt, both now and in the future.
Why leave a gift to The Hague Animal Centre?
A legacy is more than a financial contribution. It is a lasting gesture of commitment to animal welfare. Thanks to gifts from wills, we can structurally invest in good shelter and professional care.
With your legacy, you contribute to, among other things:
Food and daily care
Medical treatments and surgeries
Vaccinations, microchipping, neutering, and spaying
Dental treatments and specialist care
Behavioral guidance and rehoming
Improvements to enclosures and hygiene
This allows us to make animals healthy, social, and ready for rehoming. Every contribution, large or small, makes an immediate difference.
What do we do with your gift?
We spend legacies carefully and purposefully. Transparency and animal welfare always come first.
Your legacy is used, for example, for:
Direct care for stray animals
Animals that come to us have often had a difficult time. We provide peace, safety, and professional guidance.
Medical treatments
From surgeries and dental work to vaccinations and microchip registration. We give every animal the medical care they need.
Rehoming and aftercare
We provide intensive guidance for animals toward a new, suitable home. In doing so, we look at character, health, and living environment.
Structural improvements
With support from legacies, we invest in better enclosures, modern facilities, and optimal hygiene. This way, we structurally improve animal welfare.
Care for your pet after you pass away?
Many people worry about their own dog or cat when they are no longer there. That makes sense, as you want certainty about your animal’s future. That is why The Hague Animal Centre offers the possibility to take over the care of your pet. This way, you don’t have to worry about what happens when you are gone.
When necessary, we take in your animal lovingly and first provide peace and stability. Then, we carefully look for a new and suitable home. You can also have specific wishes or conditions included in your will. We discuss these together beforehand, so everything is clearly recorded. This way, everyone knows where they stand and we avoid any confusion later on.
This ensures that even after you pass away, your animal will be safely and well cared for, and guided toward a new future with attention.
