aside a certain amount or a percentage of your estate to the
San Diego Humane Society and SPCA to help the animals in
our community. As the longest-running nonprofit in San Diego
County, the San Diego Humane Society has been serving our
community for more than 130 years, so you can rest assured
that your legacy gift is a safe investment in contributing to the
animals and people across San Diego County.

now is the time to act. Nicole Angelucci, our Director of Planned
Gifts and an attorney with a background in estate planning, is
here to help with any questions. Either reply with the form below,

Society and SPCA in your plans, we would like to add you as a
member of our Humane Heritage Circle, which celebrates those
who have established a legacy to help animals and people alike.
