Why You Need a Pet Ownership Agreement
When two people share a pet, the law doesn't state who the owner is. Arizona treats pets as property, and for unmarried couples there's no community-property rule to fall back on. So if you split up, ownership can come down to who kept which receipt. A Pet Ownership Agreement settles it while you're still on the same page: a clear, bilateral, Arizona-specific record of who owns the pet you share and what happens if your paths diverge. It isn't about expecting the worst — it's about protecting the pet you both love, and each other, with a plan you agree on together.
