August is Make A Will Month, which sounds about as fun as cleaning your gutters or scheduling a colonoscopy. 😮
But hear us out.
So far this year, PRFG has taken in 17 pugs because their owner passed away and no family member or friend was able, or willing, to take them.
Seventeen.
And this is not just something to think about when you are older. People can die unexpectedly at any age. None of us likes thinking about it, but your pets are counting on you to have a plan.
We love being here for these dogs, but we would much rather see every pug have a plan before they ever need us. 🐾
📝So while you are deciding who gets the house, the jewelry, or that one piece of furniture everyone secretly hates, please make a plan for your pets too.
- Who will care for them?
- Does that person know they are the person?
- Is there a backup person?
- Do they know your pug’s medications, veterinarian, food, routines and very specific opinions about bedtime?
- Have you made provisions for the cost of their care?
❗And one important note: putting something in your will is a great start, but make sure the people involved know the plan now. Your pug should not have to discover after you are gone that Cousin Susan was apparently supposed to take him.
If your dog was adopted from PRFG, there is one thing you never have to worry about: we will always take a PRFG dog back if their adopter passes away or can no longer care for them. Once a PRFG pug, always a PRFG pug.💙
🐶 Your pets are family. Make sure their future is part of your plan too.
Make A Will Month is a good excuse to finally do the paperwork none of us wants to do, for the little snoring reason sleeping next to you.
