In January 2024, the BC Family Law Act was amended to include companion animals, marking a significant shift in the legal treatment of family pets. This amendment redefines the law surrounding ownership and possession of pets, recognizing their role as more than mere property. In response to this important change, Stephanie Fabbro, alongside a leading animal lawyer, Victoria Shroff, KC (https://shroffanimallaw.com/) developed a comprehensive pet-sharing agreement. This template is designed for lawyers, mediators, and dog owners across British Columbia to help create comprehensive Pet Sharing Agreements. You can download a word version of the Pet Sharing Agreement below.
