Dublin pet owners are being urged to think of their pet's futures when creating a will as the DSPCA is seeing a huge surge in pets being abandoned and handed into their centre.
It comes as a new survey for the DSPCA, which was carried out by Lottoland.ie, found that over a half of people (54%) would leave their pet to a family member when they died.
Just 1 in 10 said they’d like their pet to be taken in by friends or relatives whilst the survey also found that just 1 in 14 (7%) people would like their pet to go to a rehoming body or pet charity.
