Pet Guardian Programme

Peace of mind for you. Security for your pet.

“I’ve been your loyal companion my whole life and you are my whole world. I can’t imagine my life without you but what if one day this happens? Do you have a plan in place for me when you’re gone and I am left here without you. I know you want me to be happy and safe so please don’t forget about me”.

For many people, pets are family. One of the most difficult questions to consider is what would happen to your beloved companion if they outlived you.

The NSPCA Pet Legacy Planning Programme has been created to provide peace of mind that your pet will be cared for should the unexpected happen. By joining the programme, you can make arrangements for your pet’s future, knowing they will be safe, loved and supported.

When the time comes, the NSPCA will step in to care for your pet and work to find them a suitable new home where they can continue to thrive.

For more information and to receive and information pack by post you can call Eleanor (01) 499 4730 or email her at eleanor.ryan@nspca.ie.

Because we care about your pet as much as you do

Our Pet Legacy Planning Programme is available to pet owners nationwide and helps ensure that no pet is left without care if their owner passes away.

Once we are notified that an NSPCA Pet Guardian member has passed away, the NSPCA will arrange for their pet to be collected as soon as possible and brought into our care.

From there, our experienced teams will provide everything your pet needs while we prepare them for their next chapter.

Our promise

Veterinary care

Our veterinary team will assess your pet’s health and provide any treatment or ongoing care they may require.

Love and reassurance

Our dedicated animal care teams will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, comfort and enrichment while they settle into their new surroundings.

Finding the right home

Our adoptions team will carefully assess potential adopters and carry out home checks to ensure your pet is matched with a loving and suitable new family.

Planning ahead

Making arrangements for your pet’s future can be an important part of your overall estate planning and can provide reassurance for both you and your loved ones.

By including your pet in your plans today, you can help ensure they continue to receive the love, care and security they deserve tomorrow.
