PAWS Chicago<br />

Guardian Angel<br />

Program<br />

A bequest to PAWS Chicago, the city’s largest No Kill<br />

humane organization, is a wonderful way to save the lives<br />

of homeless cats and dogs long after your lifetime.<br />

Through the PAWS Chicago Guardian Angel<br />

program, Chris Ksoll has made a lasting<br />

commitment to homeless animals.<br />

Chris Ksoll<br />

Leaves a Legacy<br />

for the Animals<br />

Most of us want to leave our mark on the<br />

world and to feel like we contributed. PAWS<br />

Chicago supporter Chris Ksoll is no exception.<br />

“I want my personal legacy to include charitable<br />

giving,” says Ksoll. “The idea that I can still make<br />

a difference after I am not on this earth makes<br />

me feel great.”<br />

Inspired by her dog Louie, a PAWS Chicago<br />

alumnus and Hurricane Katrina survivor, Ksoll<br />

wanted to include an animal welfare organization<br />

in her legacy giving plan. And she immediately<br />

thought of PAWS Chicago and its Guardian<br />

Angel program.<br />

“PAWS has a special place in my heart for<br />

rescuing my dog, Louie,” she says. “They are also<br />

a four-star rated Charity Navigator charity so I<br />

know that my gift will go directly to the animals.”<br />

Which is exactly why the Guardian Angel<br />

program was designed: to give animal lovers<br />

and dedicated supporters of PAWS Chicago,<br />

the opportunity to leave a legacy of financial<br />

support through a bequest or other planned<br />

gift arrangement.<br />

Ksoll says once she knew that she wanted<br />

to support PAWS Chicago, it was as simple<br />

as working with an attorney, who guided her<br />

through the process of integrating PAWS<br />

Chicago into her estate plan. Now, she takes<br />

comfort in knowing that she will help save the<br />

lives of animals for years to come.<br />
