# Donate in Memory of a Pet — World Animal Rescue Network (WARN)

> You can donate in memory of a pet through World Animal Rescue Network (WARN) in two ways: make a tribute gift on the donate page and choose the appeal it supports, or use the pet memorial wall form, which includes a donation from £5 and shares your tribute publicly only if you opt in. Giving is optional, and the free pet loss guides are open to everyone.

**Updated:** 2026-11-11

## How tribute giving works

1. **Choose a remembrance option.** Read the free memorial ideas at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-loss-support/pet-memorial-ideas/, keep a private memory, or consider a donation only if that feels right.
2. **Choose where a gift goes.** Give at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/ and pick the most-needed fund or a named appeal. Recording your pet’s species on the memorial form does not restrict the gift.
3. **Join the wall if you wish.** The form at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-memorial-wall/ includes a donation from £5. Public sharing needs your opt-in and is reviewed, with no guaranteed publication date.

## Questions and answers

### How do I donate in memory of my pet?

Go to https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/, choose the most-needed fund or a named appeal, pick an amount from £1, $1 or €1 and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you would also like a public tribute, use the form on https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-memorial-wall/ instead: it includes a donation from £5 and an optional consent box for sharing your pet’s name.

### Does a gift in memory of a dog or cat go to that species?

Not automatically. The memorial form records your pet’s species as part of the tribute, but that does not restrict the gift. To support a particular cause, choose the matching appeal when you give, such as https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/appeals/karachi-dogs/ for street dogs or https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/appeals/dog-cat-meat/ for dogs and cats, or contact WARN before donating.

### Is the pet memorial wall free?

Reading the wall is free. Adding a tribute uses a form that includes a donation of at least £5. Your tribute appears publicly only if you tick the consent box, and it is reviewed first, so there is no guaranteed publication date. Free ways to remember a pet are listed at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-loss-support/pet-memorial-ideas/.

### Do I have to donate to remember my pet here?

No. The pet loss guides and remembrance ideas at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-loss-support/ are free, and you can keep a private memory without submitting anything. A tribute gift is one option, not an expectation.

### Can I give in memory of a person?

Yes. Make a donation at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/ in the usual way. If you have a question about dedicating a gift or a funeral collection, email info@worldanimalrescuenetwork.org before giving and share only the details needed.

### Will my tribute help a particular animal?

No tribute amount is tied to a named animal, a treatment or a rescue outcome. A gift is a contribution to WARN’s animal-welfare purposes or to the appeal you choose, under the published funding terms at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/about/where-your-money-goes/.

### Can I set up a monthly gift in my pet’s memory?

Yes. Choose a monthly gift at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/monthly/. You can stop future payments at any time at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/manage/.

### Is an in-memory donation eligible for Gift Aid?

No. WARN is not eligible to claim Gift Aid. World Animal Rescue Network is a registered global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation, not a registered charity. International donors should check their own local rules.

### Where can I find support for pet loss?

The guides at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/pet-loss-support/ cover grief after losing a pet, euthanasia decisions, helping children, and UK and US pet bereavement helplines. They are free and do not ask for a donation.
