Helping Pets Stay With the People Who Love Them.
Life can change quickly. Financial hardship, housing problems, veterinary expenses, behavior challenges, illness, and family emergencies can put even deeply loved pets at risk of losing their homes.
My Pet's Legacy helps families find answers, resources, support, and a plan — before a difficult situation becomes a surrender.
Every Pet. Every Chapter. Always Connected.

Help them stay home
Sometimes love isn't the problem. Life is.
People can deeply love their pets and still face circumstances that make keeping them difficult. Before a family feels they have no choice but to give up their pet, we want to help them find options they may not know exist.
Veterinary Care
Help locating financial assistance, lower-cost care, charitable programs, and relevant resources.
Pet Food
Find pet food banks, pantries, community programs, and other food assistance.
Housing
Explore pet-friendly housing resources and assistance related to housing barriers.
Financial Hardship
Locate organizations and programs that may help with pet-related expenses.
Behavior & Training
Get guidance and locate appropriate behavior or training resources.
Transportation
Look for transportation help when getting your pet to veterinary care, food assistance, temporary care, or another essential service is the barrier.
Temporary Care
Explore possible temporary-care resources during hospitalization, housing instability, or another crisis.
Spay & Neuter Assistance
Find low-cost and free spay/neuter programs, clinics, vouchers, and community assistance in your area.
My Pet's Legacy is not a shelter, rescue, or veterinary provider, and does not provide financial aid, housing, or transportation itself. We help you look for organizations and programs that may be able to help. Assistance cannot be guaranteed.
Find Help for Your Pet
Search for local and nationwide organizations and programs that may be able to help with what you're facing.
Start typing a Zip code, City or State like 12345 or Houston Texas.
Choose a state and the type of help you need to search.
Pet Legacy Network is currently expanding resource coverage throughout the Mid-Atlantic. More states and resources are being added.
Thinking you may have to give up your pet?
Many people reach this point because of one specific problem — housing, veterinary bills, food, behavior, illness or hospitalization, moving, or another crisis. Tell us what's making it difficult right now and we'll help you look for options first.

Plan before the crisis
What if something happens to you?
Today's crisis isn't the only one worth preventing. Choose trusted caregivers, organize the information they would need, and make sure someone knows what to do if you can't care for your pet.
Name Trusted Caregivers
Primary and backup caregivers can be clearly identified.
Ask & Confirm
A plan is stronger when the people involved know and agree.
Keep Important Information Ready
Give caregivers access to the information they may need.
Emergency Care Card
Create a print-ready card with secure access to your pet's important care information.

Our mission
Every pet deserves a path to safety, support, and connection.
Pet Legacy Network works to prevent unnecessary separation whenever possible — and when a pet does need help, connect the people, resources, and action that may help move them toward safety.
Through My Pet's Legacy, we help pet families find support, answers, resources, and ways to prepare for life's unexpected challenges. No pet should lose their family because help was too hard to find.
Through PLN Animal Advocates, volunteers can help coordinate advocacy, foster opportunities, rescue outreach, transportation, and other support for animals in need.
Keep pets home when possible. Keep them safe when that's not possible.
Please don't abandon your pet. There may be options you haven't found yet. Tell us what's happening and we'll help you look for possible next steps.
