   Pet owners of moderate means can ensure some stability for their animals by including a few lines in their will spelling out 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.
