There's a waiting list to take Tucker if anything ever happened to me, but my Mom would probably be the winner LOL

I also have a former roomate who adores the mutt and all the rest of the critters here (we breed guinea pigs for show...by the end of this month there will be 25 of them in the house LOL and 2 rabbits, 4 birds and 3 cats) She's stayed here in an emergency before without a problem.
My critters are all listed in my will too...they will be cared for if something happens to me

I have a waiting list for my boxer Piper (my grandma would probably win). Rommel and Ziris would be left with my parents. They know how much they mean to me, and would never give them up if something happened to me. We also live in a hurricane area. I have collapsible crates, and I always keep a "hurricane bag" for the dogs. They are all microchipped, and registered with me, and with my moms address in Texas (which is where I would go), in case we are unable to be reached due to weather related circumstances.

Buddy would go back to his breeder in the contract if I'm unable to care for him.Patches would most likely go to my son & daughter in law. Gizmo most likely would be put to sleep at 14 with health problems and not eating issues I sure it is around the corner anyway.She would drive people crazy she goes around & around in circles and stands and stares at you.

both of my dogs are co-owned by their breeders and that is where they would go if I or my family could no longer take care of them. In an emergency, Louise's breeder has a small boarding kennel and that is where they would go.

I have friends in both my Doberman club and in rescue that can take them in a pinch and get them where they need to go. When I shattered my foot in the show ring 3 years ago and had to leave in an ambulance, a friend grabbed Velma and later brought her to my house.

In addition, both of my dogs are chipped and my secondary emergency contact is each dogs breeder.

Yeah I have to say, as one post before, we would go broke to take care of them if needed. They are my family as well....and if we could no longer care for them for whatever reason...my mom would take them, shes the one who taught me how to care and love for animals in the first place, so i know she would give them the love/support they needed.

In an emergency....well once they get out here...I would prob. just call Tracy up!!lol

Good question -
If I was still alive, I think both my family and friends would work to help me care for any animal the best I can - I could board them at work, I could spread them out among friends (actually, the cats would probably be easier to place temporarily than Rah, if you can believe that!). All my animals are microchipped (though this reminds me, I need to change their registration addresses!).

If something ever happened to me and I died, I have a contingency in my will for my best friend to care for them all, and a fairly large sum of money from my estate to go to her to help her pay for them.

Gracie's_Mom

Hubby and I both talk about this a lot.

If it is because of money I know his family and my family would give us money to take care of Gracie. If it is something else like and illness then Hubby's mom would get her. She is the only one that can support her the way we want her to be supported.

If hubby and I were to die then we have decided that there better be popcorn in heaven. He and I would sit on a cloud and watch a good ole' family fued. My brother wants Gracie and hubby's whole family wants her. My mom would take my cats but I think Gracie would end up with hubby's older brother. I think if it is a long term thing he or my brother would be able to take care of her better.

They know how to handle large dominate dogs and will stop and nothing to make sure they are cared for.

I'm sure if I died one of the many people who love byron would come get him-I would really hope anyway! I would hope my mom would jsut keep him here because this is were he has always been.

If I was still alive and had to give him up I really have no clue-I think I would literally die before I could give him up. I'd rather him live in a car with me than with someone I'm not 100% sure he's happy with.


there is actually a person on some other forums I go to(and on petfinders to if anyone goes there) who apparently got hit on a horse by a car and has been in a coma since christmas. Turns out someone went to try to get her dog and it got loose and now its missing. I keep thinking how horrible for her and to add on top of it her dog is gone now to
