High Number Of Dogs Allegedly Being Surrendered In Clare As Owners Enter Nursing Homes

Dogs in Clare are allegedly being left in limbo when their owners go into nursing homes. Clare's County Dog Warden is urging families to assist their loved ones with rehoming pets when they're no longer able to take care of them. Frankie Coote claims older people often surrender dogs because they haven't put a plan in place to pass them on to their relatives when they become unwell. He's encouraging families to have these conversations to ensure pets get the best care available.
