Step-by-Step Process
Establish Trust
Work with legal experts to set up your enforceable pet trust, ensuring full compliance and protection under Colorado law. We guide you through documentation, funding, and trustee designation.
Choose Plan
Collaborate with us to select the ideal care plan and funding strategy tailored to your pet's needs, using our specialized calculators for accurate lifetime cost estimates.
Find Perfect Match
We carefully match your pet with thoroughly screened, loving adoptive families based on personality, lifestyle compatibility, and your specific preferences for a seamless transition.
Thorough Screening
All potential adopters undergo comprehensive background checks, home visits, veterinary reference verification, and meet-and-greet sessions to ensure the best fit for your pet.
Ongoing Support
Post-adoption, we provide continuous monitoring through regular check-ins with adoptive families, while trustees manage funds to ensure your pet receives exceptional lifelong care.
Our Oversight Protocol
Adopter Screening
Comprehensive background checks, home assessments, veterinary references, and lifestyle compatibility evaluations ensure we find the perfect forever home for your pet.
Post-Adoption Check-ins
Regular wellness visits and phone check-ins with adoptive families ensure your pet thrives. We monitor health, happiness, and provide ongoing guidance and support.
Required Pet Insurance
Adoptive families are required to allocate a portion of their monthly reimbursement allowance to purchase comprehensive pet insurance. This safeguards the trust from unexpected veterinary bills, ensuring financial sustainability and uninterrupted care for your pet's lifetime.
Financial Management
Expert handling of trust funds with quarterly reports to trustees. Covers veterinary care, special needs, and emergency expenses with full transparency and accountability.
Compassionate care every step of the way.
