Donate in Memory of a Pet

An animal-welfare gift is one way to remember a much-loved companion. You can also keep a private memory or use our free remembrance guides. Giving does not automatically direct funds to your pet’s species or a named animal.

Make a tribute gift Visit the memorial wall

If you are grieving, our Pet Loss Support guides are here for you — coping with the loss, saying goodbye, and ways to remember them.

In brief

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.

How Tribute Donations Work

1

Choose a remembrance option

Read free memorial ideas, keep a private memory, or consider a donation only if that feels right for you.

2

Review the fund terms

The memorial form records a tribute gift. To support a specific appeal, check that appeal’s terms or contact WARN before donating.

3

Join the wall (optional)

The current wall form includes a minimum £5 donation. Public sharing requires your opt-in and review, with no guaranteed publication date.

Where a tribute gift goes

The memorial form records your pet’s species as a tribute detail. It does not automatically restrict the gift to that species. Unrestricted gifts support animal-welfare purposes and necessary running costs; an appeal donation follows its published fund terms.

WARN is a community interest company, not a registered charity. No tribute amount guarantees a particular animal, treatment or rescue outcome.

Before you give

In-memory giving questions

How do I donate in memory of my pet?
Go to 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 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 Karachi street-dog appeal for street dogs or dog and cat meat trade appeal 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 pet memorial ideas.
Do I have to donate to remember my pet here?
No. The pet loss guides and remembrance ideas at 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 donate in the usual way. If you have a question about dedicating a gift or a funeral collection, email [email protected] 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 where your money goes.
Can I set up a monthly gift in my pet’s memory?
Yes. Choose a monthly gift at monthly giving. You can stop future payments at any time at 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 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.
