Planned Giving

Guardian Angel Basset Rescue is starting the 2nd twenty-five years of its existence. We know that many of you want to be long-term supporters of this group because you have been a major part of the first twenty-five years. There are so many ways for you to accomplish your support.

We know that your desire is to maintain the support of Basset lives--they are a wonderful breed and provide a great experience for the pet owner. In addition, the saving of the life of an unwanted Basset is very important. GABR knows that it will take a continued influx of truly dedicated people to accomplish that goal. It will also take more and more financial commitments to save our deserving friends.

We will be happy to discuss all the giving options available to you. We may even be able to show you how to give even more that you thought possible.
