ABOUT US
Covenant Pet Trust Inc. is a 501c3 organization
Covenant Pet Trust Inc. was founded in 2012 by Pam Taylor & Kathy Wisner to educate and assist pet parents to plan for the future of their pets without them.
We are proud to work with all pet parents, including those who are terminally ill or permanently disabled, to create a plan for your pet in the event they outlive you. We also offer support to keep pets in their home due to unforeseen circumstances.
Covenant Pet Trust Directors and Volunteers are here to provide comfort and peace of mind for pet owners and to prevent neglect, abuse and euthanasia of pets.
Get to Know Us
Our mission is to provide education and resources for pet parents to plan for their pets and to prevent neglect, abuse and euthanasia of pets due to the death of their people.
Our goal is to ensure the joy and comfort only a beloved pet can bring; provide pet parents with the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what will happen to that pet in the event of the owner's death.
Our services include in-home care support, foster care, visitation, relocation, re-homing or other personalized services as required.
