Frank was always very interested and supportive of the wonderful work Graeme has done at the Home.
These were common themes in his notes sent with his donations.
He thought Graeme did a wonderful job and the success of the Home was due to his hard work and passion for unowned animals.
We then added him to our mailing list.
Frank started as a cash customer around 1990 after purchasing some merchandise.
Each time Frank donated or wrote a note he received a handwritten P.S from Graeme.
He responded to every appeal (five a year) we sent. Initially giving $60 but then consistently sending $250 after each mailing.
Around 2003, we tried a new ask strategy and Frank regularly started donating $5,000 to our Winter and Christmas appeals.
He also became a Friend of PAWs customer (regular giving programme) donating $250 per month.
In 2004, after hearing a news item in which Graeme and the Home had featured, Frank sent a donation of $10,000.
When we became tax deductable in 2006,
Frank was very pleased as he was then able to give even larger donations.
$30,000
$50,000
We were pleased too!
Then, in 2007, we invited Frank in to talk about some of the capital projects we had planned at the Home.

Because Frank always refused to come inside the shelter – he found it ‘too upsetting’ - we took him over to the old house at 13 Gracie Street to share our vision for one of our capital projects - a Training and Education centre.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
After discussing various projects, including the new Veterinary Clinic, Frank sat back and asked…
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
“I suppose you want to know how much I am worth?”
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
Graeme was caught off guard – he had no
idea
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
He went on to let us know that he planned on leaving half of his estate to the Home.
Letting Graeme off the hook, he told us that his estate was worth four million dollars.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
After recovering from the shock, Graeme remembered why he was there – and asked Frank for the gift he was going to
ask for all along.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
Frank wrote a cheque for $50,000 to go toward our capital campaign
Just before he died, he gave another $50,000 towards the Sick and Injured Facility.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
Tragedy struck in 2007. Frank was found outside his front door, just out of sight after falling and fracturing his hip. Unable to move, he later died from pneumonia.
Franks estate is worth $9 million.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
So far we have received $3.5 million
We will receive almost 50%.
Frank Samways was perhaps The Lost Dogs’ Home’s number one supporter and certainly our most generous.
© Pareto Fundraising 2009
He made a significant impact on our ability to care for thousands of dogs and cats throughout his life time with his generous donations.
“Frank was a man who had charisma. He was able to make everyone he feel very special. It was the common theme that was communicated at his funeral.”
Dr. Graeme Smith
