Tribute Donations

Interested in making a donation in honor of someone special (human or animal)? Making a gift is a great way to honor a fellow animal-lover! Five Acres will send a card to the honoree informing them of your gift. Please be sure to include the name of whom you would like your donation made in honor of and where to send the acknowledgement card.

In Memoriam

Interested in making a donation in memory of someone special (human or animal)? Five Acres will send a card to the family informing them of your gift. Please be sure to include the name of whom you would like your donation made in memory of and where to send the acknowledgement card.

Shadow’s Fund

Want to help animals who have needs that go beyond what is typical? Make a donation specified to Shadow’s Fund, our special needs program. This program supports cats and dogs that require extensive veterinary care.  Without Shadow’s Fund, we would not be able to save certain dogs and cats because, as a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of kind people who support our mission to end pet homelessness.

Planned Giving

Planned giving can allow you to donate more and make a difference that has a significant and lasting impact on the lives of animals. If you already have a will or trust, you should be able to add an amendment that fulfills your charitable wishes. There are additional tax benefits to these gifts and we recommend you discuss them with your legal advisor.
