Planning for Furry Friends
In honor of National Dog Day, we are laying out a few things to consider when planning for a pet. Loved dogs, cats, or other pets should be thoughtfully planned for in the event that something should happen to their owners. A lack of planning may result in a pet being lost, left on the streets, or placed in a humane society. We are certain that Fido would rather be placed with a trusted friend if an unforeseeable event should occur.
There is a range of planning that can be done for a pet. At the very basic level, a pet owner should identify two possible caregivers that would provide a safe home and necessities. The agreement could be oral or committed to a written document. Be sure to include whether the caregiver is signing up for short-term, long-term, or permanent care of Fido. Also, remember to inform potential caregivers of the pet's veterinarian and any relevant health conditions.
Furthermore, a pet's care and disposition may be provided for in the owner's formally executed Will in the event of disability or death. Additionally, a pet trust could be set-up through an attorney to ensure a certain amount of money is available for the life of the pet.
