The Trump family reportedly has a special request of those who wish to honor the remarkable life and legacy of Ivana Trump as her family and friends lay her rest on Wednesday in New York City.

Funeral guests and others — in lieu of flowers — will be asked to donate to Big Dog Ranch Rescue (bdrr.org) in Florida and to help save the lives of dogs that are in desperate need.

Lauree Simmons, CEO of Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday in a phone interview about the need to help dogs that are running out of time — and about the Trump family’s strong and enduring interest in supporting the efforts of this rescue organization.

"Eric and Lara [Trump] and Kimberly [Guilfoyle] and Don [Trump, Jr.] have been very supportive of our dog rescue and the growth that we've had," said Simmons.

"They are involved and helping us," she said. Simmons noted that all three of Ivana Trump’s children are "huge dog lovers and rescue supporters."

Simmons said she met Ivana Trump several times, but has worked more extensively with Ivana Trump’s children on her organization's canine rescue efforts.

"I feel Ivana would have loved this idea," said Simmons, referencing the donations to the dog rescue in lieu of flowers.
