Where will your animals go when you are gone?
Its a thought that no one likes to think about, but what would happen to the long-term care of your pets if something happened to you? With our Perpetual Care Program, Watermelon Mountain Ranch offers a solution to give you that peace of mind. This program offers help to those who may not have family to care for their animals in the event their animals should outlive them or if they become incapacitated.
When you participate in WMR's Perpetual Care Program you will work with our Coordinators to map out a plan for the future needs of your pets. This may include the facilitation of adoption into a new and qualified loving home. Or a permanent residence on our 10 acre Ranch where they will be spoiled in the comfort of their own cottage and have daily interaction with ranch staff and volunteers. Either way, our goal is to provide the best long-term care for your pets needs.

What should you plan on for long-term pet care?
According to Albuquerque Estate Planners, Shawn Deasy and Tom Smidt, one should plan on $800 for a small dog to $1500 for a large dog for basic food, supplies and medical care on an annual basis. Feline maintenance and care runs around $650 annually. This is based on supplying premium kibble, daily scoopable litter, annual exams, toys, collars, licenses,
vaccinations, tests and supplies. Ms. Deasy also recommends her clients allow an additional
$5000 - $10,000 in case of extraordinary medical costs during their pet's lifetime.

 

How do I get set my pets to be a part of the program?
We recommend that you set an appointment with our
Perpetual Care Coordinator to determine the specific
needs and future needs of your pet(s) along with your
decision on their future living arrangements. Based on
the outcome of our discussion, we will create a
financial plan that you can take to your estate
planner or attorney, so that they can incorporate it into
your will, and designate WMR as the care provider
for your pets.
