Robert Kabakoff Leaves a
Legacy for the Animals
When Robert Kabakoff adopted his first dog, Zydeco,
from the city pound in Phoenix, Arizona, the state of
homeless animals left a lasting mark. “The sadness that
I felt from seeing the living conditions motivated me to
do all that I could for animals in need,” says Robert. “I
truly wish that I could have been able to take all of the
orphaned animals home that day but promised myself
that I would do more throughout my life to promote
animal adoption.”
After becoming involved with PAWS Chicago – as
a volunteer, donor, fundraiser and Development Board
member, Robert worked with his attorney to plan a
trust which included a gift for PAWS Chicago through
its Guardian Angel program so that homeless pets
would be taken care of if he were no longer around to
do so.
“I hope my gift will provide an even
better environment for homeless
and sheltered animals as they wait
to be adopted.”
Through the PAWS Chicago Guardian Angel
program, Robert Kabakoff has made a lasting
commitment to homeless animals.
A bequest to PAWS Chicago, the city’s largest No Kill
humane organization, is a wonderful way to save the
lives of homeless cats and dogs long after your lifetime.
For information on PAWS Chicago’s planned
giving programs, please call (773) 890-5116
or visit www.pawschicago.org.
According to Robert, “The process of setting up my
trust was very easy with the help of my lawyer. Including
PAWS Chicago in my trust took only a matter of
minutes.”
Through PAWS Chicago’s Guardian Angel program,
Robert takes comfort in knowing that he will continue
to help create a No Kill Chicago, even after he is gone.
“Katie and I don’t have any children of our own and
we really want to make a difference with such a wonderful
cause,” says Robert. “I couldn’t be happier to help
provide food, shelter and foster care until homeless pets
can find their forever home. I hope my gift will provide
an even better environment for homeless and sheltered
animals as they wait to be adopted.”
