What would happen to your pets tomorrow if you were hit by a bus today?
Many of the dogs, cats, and other pets you see in shelters are there because their owners became ill and unable to care for them, or they died without leaving clear plans for their pets' next home. Without a plan in place, the majority of these well-loved, healthy animals will unfortunately be euthanized.
Your pets are safe since a friend or relative will take them because they know how much you loved them. Right?
Think again. If you don't have a concrete plan, your furry loved ones are at risk Taking the steps outlined in PerPETual Care will help you eliminate that danger.
In this groundbreaking book, you'll learn the pros and cons of setting up a pet trust, how to select a permanent caretaker, and how to come up with a plan that makes everybody--including your pets--happy.
There's much more. Inside you'll learn:
· Why having a will isn't enough · Why probate is dangerous for your pets · How to fund a pet trust even if you're broke · How to plan your estate to avoid challenges from non-pet-loving relatives
Plus, there's an extensive appendix to guide you to pet-friendly lawyers and pet retirement homes and sanctuaries, as well as a list of states where pet trusts are legal.
If you love your pets, you need a plan to ensure that they have a future without you. PerPETual Care will tell you everything you need to know.
A portion of the proceeds from PerPETual Care will be donated to humane organizations in all fifty states.

Pet Care when You are Not Here:
If you think your best friend in the world or your relatives will happily take care of your pets in the event that you can't, "think again." Your friends might not be willing to say "no" while you are alive, but what happens later? I know for a fact, even my mother would not want to look after my cats because she doesn't really like cats. It would be unfair to the cats and to her to leave them in her care. Not everyone loves pets, that is for sure. While thinking about your soul is the most... more info
