The group at Dogs Trust Ballymena are presently taking care of four-year-old Rottweiler Murphy who entered the charity’s care by means of the Canine Care Card after his owner regretfully died.
A regional animal charity is prompting dog owners to plan ahead when it pertains to ensuring their four-legged friend is liked and cared for if something takes place to them.
Dogs Trust runs the complimentary Canine Care Card service which implies a dog is immediately taken care of by them if their owner dies, moves into a care home or gets a life-altering medical diagnosis which implies they can no longer care for their much-loved canine buddy.
Conor O’Kane, supervisor at Dogs Trust Ballymena Rehoming Centre, said: “The Canine Care Card gives dog owners peace of mind that their dog will be loved for a lifetime.
“We know that the bond between an owner and their dog is entirely unique and it’s hard to imagine that anyone could love and care for their dog as much as they do. But we promise we will.
“We will look after them either at the centre or in one of our wonderful foster homes and when the time is right, we will find them a new home.”
The group at Dogs Trust Ballymena are presently taking care of four-year-old Rottweiler Murphy, who entered the charity’s care by means of the Canine Care Card after his owner regretfully died.
They explained Murphy as a really caring mild giant who enjoys both human and animal buddies and is presently in a foster home. He is blind due to being diabetic so needs a home with adopters who will handle his diabetes and will take pleasure in great deals of snuggles.
Mr O’Kane included: “A Canine Care Card makes things so much easier for owners, their families and their dogs. Dog owners spend their lives caring for and protecting their four-legged friends; having a Canine Care Card means that that can continue, even in difficult circumstances.
“If an owner expresses their wishes by having a Canine Care Card, it removes the uncertainty for owners and families and relieves some of the stress they will be experiencing at an emotional time. Also, all the information we get from the owner helps us make the transition to a new family as stress-free as possible for the dog.
“None of us know what’s around the corner so we would urge all dog owners to think ahead, like Murphy’s owner did, so their dog doesn’t miss out on a minute of the love and care they deserve.”
