The Last Post was founded by Pegeen Fitzgerald, a New York radio personality, advertising executive, author and animal advocate.

It is a project that is sponsored by The Vivisection Investigation League and The Millennium Guild, both organizations which Mrs. Fitzgerald had been President of until her untimely death in 1989.

The Last Post's primary purpose is to provide a safe, homelike surrounding for animals whose previous owners have died or gone into nursing homes.

Animals are left to the Last Post in wills, or special arrangements are made by contacting our attorney:
