Humane Heroes
Including Española Humane in your will, trust, or other estate plans is a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy for animals and the people who love them. Planned gifts help ensure long-term support for pets in need while strengthening the future of our organization and the community we serve.
Those who make a legacy commitment become part of our Humane Heroes community — a special group of compassionate supporters whose generosity helps provide care, safety, and hope for generations to come.
As a Humane Hero, you may also be eligible to participate in our Pet Guardianship Program, designed to provide peace of mind by ensuring your beloved pets will be cared for and thoughtfully rehomed if they outlive you.

Free Will Planning Resources
A charitable bequest is one of the most impactful ways to support a future where people help animals and animals help people. To make estate planning more accessible, Española Humane partners with FreeWill, a secure online estate planning platform that allows many individuals to create a will at no cost in as little as 20 minutes.
If you prefer to work with an attorney, you can still use FreeWill to organize and document your wishes ahead of time, helping streamline the process and clarify your intentions.

Pet Guardianship Program
One of the most meaningful benefits of becoming a Humane Hero is the reassurance that your pets will continue to receive loving care in the future.
Through our Pet Guardianship Program, Española Humane can help provide for pets whose owners are no longer able to care for them. Our team will work to place your pets in safe, loving homes while honoring your wishes and the unique needs of each animal.

“As pet owners, our pets provide unconditional love and joy, and we were concerned about their welfare if something should happen to us. We discovered Espanola Humane’s Pet Guardianship program could provide that care and peace of mind, and we included EH in our will for taking care of our animals.
We continue to be amazed at the growth and compassion of Espanola Humane to help with medical care, veterinary training, and other programs both locally and regionally.”
