Diane and Mark Gould included the Foundation for TJO Animals in their estate plans because of their love of animals. They are especially grateful for the work the Foundation does to provide funding for the medical care and programs for the thousands of local, homeless animals that arrive at the doors of the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center each year.

"We hope that our gift will light the way for other animals to receive the care and attention they so deserve."

“When we look at the incredible work the Foundation for TJO Animals does each and every day, we asked ourselves:
‘How could we not support this amazing local, non‑profit organization?”
