"But my family will take my pets ... "
So many people have told us they expect family members to take in their beloved pets if something happens. Yet many animals arrive at shelters because family members can't take them in. Consider the future of your pets. Have a conversation with your family rather than just assume. Many families already have pets that would not accept new pets into the home. A Pet Care Trust is the only document that will provide for your animals when you no longer can.
