A Barkley Pet Trust is a sanctioned arrangement between a pet owner and a caretaker providing for the care and maintenance of pets in the event of an owner disability or death.
A Pet Trust is a vehicle approved by the Nevada Legislature (NRS 163.0075) which allows for pet owners to create a which dictates what your desires are for the care & protection of your pets.
A Pet Trust protects your pet in the future and your peace of mind right now.
A first objective in creating a Pet Trust is to designate a Caretaker of a pet, who will be willing to take full custody of the pet, is known to the pet, and shares the same ideals as the senior owner of the pet.
A second objective of a Pet Trust is to establish your wishes for the care of your pet. Trusts are established with a dollar amount in mind for the care of the pet. For example, food preferences, specialized care, veterinary expenses, grooming costs, pet habits, medical conditions & medications taken, behavior around other pets and humans, and it will also address end of live, and burial care for your pet.
A third objective of a Pet Trust is for you to address specific aspects of your pet's daily needs and care for the Caregiver. You may stipulate what foods to feed the pet. State their daily schedule for exercise and other daily activities. State the Pet's veterinarian. A Senior may even designate a separate Person to oversee the funds within your Pet Trust.
Remember that once you are out of the picture, there is nothing you can do for your pet anymore. So be prudent and put in writing everything you would do for your pet in your absence.
Purpose
The purpose of the Pet Trust is to reach out to all the senior members of our community who have pets and create a document that will care for the pet in the absence of the senior owner.
Another purpose is to create a relationship with Veterinarians who will provide some services at a reduced cost to our Seniors, such as Spay & Neuter their animals.
Also to implant identification chips into all the pets an owner has in the event the pet is lost so it can be found and returned to the senior owner.
Another purpose is to delineate what a senior owner wants for their pets in the event they pass or are incapacitated and a family member takes care of their pet animals, so the senior owner can be assured in knowing that their pets will be cared for by their family member in a way that they would also care for their pets.
