CRiSP's Memorial Program is for dog owners who are facing end-of-life decisions and have no suitable alternative home, through friends or family, to provide for their beloved pet-dog. The knowledge that CRiSP will ensure a wonderful lifestyle for the dog after the owner’s demise is a huge comfort and emotional relief for everyone.
Estate attorneys and financial planners who have prepared, or are in the process of preparing, their clients’ estate plans will need to make arrangements for continued reimbursements to the re-homer; and for any special handling of the owner’s pet-dog upon the owner’s demise.
The rescue facility will interact directly with the dog owner and with the owner’s estate attorney and financial planners as a dog owner participant and as a potential source for an endowment, bequest, or contribution from the grateful dog owner.
The CBF would like to encourage the re-homer who previously offered visitation to the now deceased owners to now provide volunteer community services and will be offered, through the rescue facility, a special financial stipend to do so.
Owner dogs interacting with patients in hospitals and other medical facilities will be registered as therapy and emotional support dogs to meet the certification requirements for community service.
The CRiSP initiative would serve the dual purpose by accommodating the interest of the dog owner and continuing their legacy, while simultaneously providing a valuable community service.
This would serve as a legacy memorial to the original owner by offering therapy and emotional support to patients in hospitals, veteran’s and children’s facilities, rehabilitation and other medical centers. The owner’s name will be displayed and memorialized on their pet-dogs jacket during visits to these community facilities.Top of Form.
