Legacy Society
Planned Giving
By designating HLCR in your estate plans, you can ensure a lifetime of second chances for the vulnerable dogs that most public shelters aren’t equipped to care for.
Please consider joining HLCR's Legacy Society. It is an act of 'evergreen' kindness that blooms year round from your life on.
Now & Fur-ever
You can help now through donations from an IRA, or later through your will or trust.
Making the decision to include HLCR in your estate plans directly effects the health and lives of thousands of dogs and families for years to come!
Use Of Funds
Located on a 15-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country, HLCR has expansive outdoor yards, a kennel building, Critical Care Facility and adoption office. Every space is devoted to the rehabilitation of dogs with special needs.
A legacy gift becomes medicine for the sick, food for the hungry, a safe enclosure rebuilt after years of use, or the steady hands of caregivers who never give up.

Qualified Charitable Donations & Required Minimum Donations
Lulu, a 4 year old Border Collie with heartworms, wouldn’t have survived in a county shelter. Highland Lakes Canine Rescue stepped in, and a donor stepped up.
By making a Qualified Charitable Distribution from his IRA to satisfy his Required Minimum Distribution, Lulu’s benefactor helped cover her life-saving treatment while also reducing his taxable income.
We are not financial advisors and always encourage donors to consult their own, but QCDs can be a powerful way to save lives and maximize the impact of your generosity.
Interested in making a QCD? We’re happy to provide the documentation you need.
Wills & Trusts
For more than 22 years, HLCR has given overlooked dogs a second chance and placed them into loving Central Texas homes where they can thrive.
By naming HLCR as a beneficiary in your will or trust, you can ensure this mission continues for years to come. Today, nearly 80% of the dogs we rescue require special care, and your legacy gift directly supports their rehabilitation and path to adoption.
Every dollar matters. Every gift changes a life.
