We set up a trust for our pets,especially our horses.To much animal cruelty out there to take a chance.
“Too much animal cruelty out there to take a chance...”
I have been going on Pet Finders for a few months now and I am amazed at how many really nice dogs there are without a home because the “owner” died. I wonder if the unspoken “assumption” is that the kids/grandkids will automatically take the dog/cat/horse etc and when the time comes.. it just doesn’t happen. Setting up a plan of whatever sort (financial, no kill rescue, or the word of someone in the family/friend circle) isn’t a bad idea at all. On a side note, when Mom was terminal.. she made sure someone was taking her elderly Boston Terrier (my younger brother) and the cat (her DIL). Not all of us have months to prepare though......
