This would be a good time to remind people that you MUST make provisions for your pets in the event of your death. Too many times I have seen someone's much loved pet sent to a kill shelter because the family just didn't want "to be bothered" or "hated cats" or "had kids", etc. etc. Making a codicil to your will is easy enough to do. Also, in Texas you can make a holographic Will that is legal and binding, so no need to pay attorneys. Information about what language you need to include in a holographic Will can he found online.

Thanks for the information Taylor. You are so right. This should be a reminder for people to make provisions for their pets in the event of their death. It's so sad the pets that do end up in shelters because of the reasons you mentioned.
I believe that the SPCA and other rescue organizations have information on their sites about planning for your pet in the event of your death.
Stacy, could Animal Attraction do a story about this topic with tips and resources to help people with planning for their pet? Thanks!
Best wishes Ginger. I hope and pray that someone comes forward and gives you a loving forever home soon! I know you're sad and confused and miss your owner.
This just breaks my heart, so sad.

How very sad for Ginger - my heart breaks for her too! I hope that someone steps up and saves Ginger!! And I hope that she is saved by someone who will bring her inside their home and let her be part of their family - even though that means they will have to housetrain her!! She is such a beautiful soul!!

And Stacey - if you do a story as Melody suggested - could you highlight Ginger's plight so that a good samaritan can help her???

Thanks, Taylor, for a great post and Melody and Donna for an excellent idea. I will do some research and put together a complete story for Monday. I'll also keep you updated on Ginger!!

Thanks Stacy!!!!

Thanks, Stacy!!
