Danzig is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Danzig is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 2-year-old, 65-pound, male, Shepherd mix.

He was a stray in Riverside County before being transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS).

He was adopted, but his owner had health issues and Danzig was returned.

The $145 adoption fee for Danzig includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

For more information or to sponsor a pet visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or log on to www.SDpets.org.

Open 11 to 4 Friday through Monday, and by appointment Wednesday and Thursday.

Special note: When Queen Elizabeth II died, she had a plan for her pets. Every owner should have a plan in case they’re no longer able to care for their pets. Even if you have a plan for someone who will care for your pets, you need a backup plan, and a backup plan to the backup plan.

Don’t just assume that a friend or family member will take your pets.

Put your plans in your will or estate plan. It needs to be in writing for your pet’s guardian to have a legal claim.

If you don’t have a will or estate plan, you can start planning for your pet by using Freewill.com to create a will. It’s free and it takes about 20 minutes.
