PURPOSE&GOAL
The Purpose
Planning Today for Your Pets' Tomorrow
At Wishes for My Pet, our purpose is to reduce the number of pets
relinquished or abandoned due to circumstances beyond their control.
We empower you to plan for your pets’ future, no matter what that future may bring.
We aim to ensure that owners can enjoy the life-fulfilling benefits of
pet ownership at any age or species of pet.
Your plan is the road map that guides loved ones and first responders,
accessed through the mobile app Wishes Response.
Your wishes for your pets are honored, and your beloved pet family
members are not left behind to an unknown future.
WHY ADVANCED PLANNING MATTERS
A Gift of Love for Your Pets
Life is unpredictable. Whether you’re 18 or 81, an unforeseen event can change your life forever.
But life’s unpredictability doesn’t need to leave your pets to an unknown future.
If you plan today for your pets’ tomorrow, you ensure they aren’t the victims of circumstances
beyond their control. Here are a few reasons why pets become lost or abandoned:
Health Issues
When pet owners become seriously ill or are no longer physically able to care for their pets.
Owners Death
Beloved pets are left behind, abandoned or relinquished
to shelters because there
isn't a plan in place.
Financial Struggles
Economic hardship that force families to make heartbreaking decisions to give up their pets.
Natural Disasters
Disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, and floods displace thousands of pets every year.
The Impact:
-
According to the ASPCA, over 6.3 million pets entered U.S. shelters in 2023.
-
48 % of intakes were strays, and 25% were owner relinquished.
-
Many pets are abandoned and surrendered due to circumstances that could have been avoided with advance planning.
