While we know that not everybody likes to think about their own death, but, as pet owners, it’s your responsibility to make sure that if anything happens, your beloved pet has things put in place by you, for them. Both TTSPCA/ AWN often has to deal with cases in which an owner has died, and nothing has been talked about with friends or family regarding the welfare of the pet/s should they (the owner) get ill or eventually die. Pets have been left in yards or houses for weeks on end without food or care, often no one realizes until the animal is seen to be losing weight or, they themselves die. TTSPCA/ AWN asks you to think about your pets, talk to friends and family and let them know your wishes with regards to the animals you care for. Write all of your instructions down and give them to a few of your closest family members, or, leave a provision for care in your will, remember, as hard as it is to think about, life goes on…so, you must protect those that can’t speak for themselves.
