  Pet owners of moderate means can ensure some stability for their animals by spelling out in their wills who gets the family dog, said Kim Bressant-Kibwe, associate counsel of trusts and estates for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
  
  "Maybe it's a situation where a person only has $500 or $1,000 to leave for a pet's care, and that's fine," Bressant-Kibwe said.

  Only one in four pet owners plans for the care of animals in the event of death or disability, said Kim Bressant-Kibwe, trusts and estates counsel with the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, based in New York.
  
  "The minute you take a pet into your home, you've got to consider the worst-case scenario," she said.
  ...
  If none of your acquaintances agrees to care for a pet in the case of your death, rescue organizations might be willing to arrange for adoption, especially if you have a purebred dog, Kim Bressant-Kibwe said.
  ...
  Even making informal arrangements for your pet's care in the event of your illness or death is better than doing nothing, Bressant-Kibwe said.
  
  "The point is to reach out to people who know you and know your pet," she said.

  Expect to spend at least $1,500 to $2,000 to establish a trust, which requires the skills of a professional, according to Kim Bressant-Kibwe, trusts and estates counsel with American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Hirschfeld's rate starts lower than that range, but the price rises depending on the services that are desired. Owners should start thinking about establishing a trust "the minute" they acquire an animal, recommended Bressant-Kibwe. "Life isn't guaranteed to any one of us," she said."People are particularly interested in pet trusts because they reach beyond the grave." If you don't want to spend the cash or time on a trust, try setting up a bank account with someone whom you trust to care for your animal. End of Story"Pick the right person and hope that when the time comes that they'll have enough integrity to follow your wishes," Bressant-Kibwe said.
