Who Will Be Your Pet’s Guardian?
Written By: David Stroud - Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society | Issue: Winter 2025
Your careful consideration and compassionate heart will help determine the future of Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society and the animals in its care.
With just a few simple words in your will you can help animals long into the future.
Plan a bright future for yourself, your family, your pets, and the animals at CHHS who need you. Use your assets as you need them and then leave a lasting legacy in your will to the many dogs and cats that need help.
The CHHS Legacy Society is an initiative to promote planned giving among those who hold CHHS close to their heart.
You also gain the satisfaction of directing your gift to three key areas: support of the facilities, direct support of the animals, and program development. Help to ensure that the humane society you love will have the resources necessary to sustain it into the future.
Gifts to CHHS are essential to the continued growth, strength, and excellence of our organization, and a planned gift is one of the best ways to represent a sound investment for generations to come.

Another matter is…who takes care of those left behind? This is a question that no one likes to consider, but every responsible pet owner should be able to answer: if the unthinkable happens and you pass away leaving pets behind, what will happen to your beloved canine and feline companions? Have you made arrangements with who will be their guardian?
Some folks have let us know they have stipulated in their will that CHHS is to be the guardian of their cherished pet should the owner pass away first. We are extremely honored, moved and deeply humbled by this responsibility, and consider it a sacred trust to provide safe sanctuary, and find a new forever home for the furry family member left behind.
