Dogs & Angels

Ensure Your Dog’s Future
with a Loving Trust

Dogs & Angels is a partnership between for-profit Top Dog Country Club and non-profit Top Dog Foundation that safeguards the quality of your dog’s life even in the event of your death.

When you prepare a pet trust with the help of your estate planner, you can name these neighboring facilities as the caregiver for your dog(s). Together, Top Dog Country Club and Top Dog Foundation will ensure your wishes for your dog are carried out as you specify.

Top Dog Foundation matches your dog with a carefully screened adoptive home. The Foundation follows the dog throughout life to ensure quality of life, and if needed, the dog is welcomed to the Sanctuary (now in the planning stages) at an appropriate time. Through your estate, you specify payment to Top Dog Foundation.

You choose that your dog lives at Top Dog Country Club.  Through your estate, you provide the annual cost of care plus 5% for a medical fund. When age and health warrant, your dog moves next door to the Sanctuary (once it is built) with its equal accommodations and onsite veterinary and rehabilitation care.

We also rescue senior dogs. Their care is provided through donations.
Please feel free to contact us directly with questions.

What Happens to Your Dog When You Die?

Many dogs come to us when their owners pass away or move to assisted living. Most times, no one planned ahead for the dog in the event of these unhappy circumstances. We take them in, we find new homes, but we know the heartache attached to these losses could be alleviated. Planning ahead with a Pet Trust can help ensure the safety and security of your dog.

FAQ

We created a pet trust program to help people plan ahead and designate someone to care for the dog when they can no longer do so.

When individuals are financially able to provide funding for the care of their dog, this pet trust program also provides sustaining income for Top Dog Foundation. At your choice, dogs may live out their lives in the sanctuary (once it is built) or a carefully vetted adoptive home. You may also designate Top Dog Country Club as the residence for younger dogs if you choose.  Learn more about Top Dog Country Club as a facility.

Put simply, a pet trust is the best way for you to ensure your dog’s well-being should they outlive you or should you become incapable of providing care. Working with your estate planner, you name a trusted caregiver and stipulate funds dedicated to the care of your dog.

If you don’t trust someone else to care for your dog, you can name Top Dog Foundation as your dog’s caregiver. Top Dog Country Club and Top Dog Foundation Sanctuary have created a partnership called Dogs & Angels, dedicated to ensuring that your dog’s latter years are among their very best.
