Estate Planning
“If you find it hard to think about life without your pet, imagine your pet's life without you.”
Every hour of every day 50 pets are euthanized in U.S. animal shelters simply because their owners died or were incapacitated and made no arrangements for their continuous care. This amounts to more than 500,000 orphaned petskilled every year. This change was made with the tool.
Perhaps you are like many people who assume friends or family will step in to take care of your "Children in Furry Coats", much like they would care for an orphaned child. The sad truth is, if affirmative steps are not taken to ensure an enforceable plan for your pets, they many have an uncertain future.
There are numerous horror stories of petsthat have been abandoned, run-away, killed by cars or placed in animal shelters where they were later euthanized.
As responsible pet owners, we must consider the long-term care needs of our beloved pets in the event of our disability or death.
