Note: To leave a bequest in your will, you will be asked to provide a contact name and address. Since we have no physical location and the Rescue Officers change regularly, the best way to handle this is to stipulate the Westie Rescue Michigan, Inc. and  then give the website URL:  www.westierescue-mi.com as the place to go to find the most current contacts. That way, when the time comes, they will be able to locate the most current contacts.
