Enroll in Loved for Life

When you become a member of the Legacy Circle, you can also plan for the future of your pets. Members can enroll their pets in Animal Humane Society's Loved for Life program whereby AHS will find your pet a loving home in the event that you can no longer care for them. Loved for Life pets are re-homed outside of our typical shelter adoption programs, making the transition as smooth as possible for them.
