BlueMoon Meadows knows that our pets are so much more to us than property, they are family. Unfortunately, unlike our human children, the U.S. Law views our beloved fur children as property. The bottom line is: without written instructions of your wishes, "property" can be legally destroyed. Every hour of every day 50 companion animals are euthanized in US animal shelters simply because their human companions died and made no arrangements for their continuous care.
As of 2018, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted companion animal pet trust laws. Planning for your pet with a trust or in your will ensures your beloved pet’s continued care should something unexpected happen to you.
Below are resources that will aid you in planning for your pet's future without you.
