A trust ensures that your beloved pet goes to a person – whether family or friend – that will love and care for the pet as you would. If you do not have a family member or friend that would be willing to take your pet, a pet trust can also provide financial support. The trust would contain a certain amount of money for a rescue or shelter to take your pet in and either care for it for the rest of its life, or to find another loving home for your pet.
