A Plan for My Pets™

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your pets if something happened to you? OCHS can help. A Plan for My Pets™ ensures continuing care for your beloved companions, should death or serious disability separate you.

Often, pets are brought to the shelter by grieving families or local authorities, and we don’t know what they like to eat, what medications they need, or anything about their personalities. Please consider completing A Plan for My Pets™ questionnaires about your furry friends for OCHS to keep securely on file. The information you provide now creates a lifeline for the care of pets who may outlive you.

When you enroll in the program by including a gift of any size to OCHS in your will or other estate plan, we promise to receive, care for, and, should the need arise, place your surviving cats or dogs in loving new homes. And you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing OCHS will be there for your pets and your family in difficult times.

To find out more, please contact Executive Director Elizabeth Thompson exec.director@oregoncoasthumanesociety.org, 541-997-4277.
