DSPCA Launch ‘Furrever Friends’

Everyday we see animals being abandoned, neglected, and cruelly treated. We also see pets being surrendered to the DSPCA by their families who can no longer look after them. So far this year, we have received over 300 surrender requests from people wishing to rehome their pets.

To raise vital funds and to reinforce the message that adopting an animal should be a well-considered decision that fits each person’s lifestyle we are launching our ‘Furrever Friends’ plush toy collection.

DSPCA Launch ‘Furrever Friends’

The ‘Furrever Friends‘ collection includes a variety of animals from dogs to cats, rabbits to reptiles including; Parker the Pony, Timmy the Terrier, Rita the Ragdoll, Betty the Brown Lop Eared Rabbbit, Betty & Grainne the Guinea Pigs (guinea pigs are better together!) and more. Each ‘Furrever Friend’ comes with it’s own Furrever Friends carrier, adoption certification and an educational leaflet offering guidance on responsible pet adoption and care for each animal.

Our ‘Furrever Friends’ are designed to showcase that a pet requires care, attention and commitment and highlights key factors to consider before adoption, such as species, temperament and lifestyle.

“We see a lot of cases of pets being surrendered because families weren’t fully prepared or aware of the commitment involved,” said Tanya Clarke, Head of Dog Operations at the DSPCA. “Our ‘Furrever Friends’ plush toys provide a way for people, especially children and families, to engage with the idea of pet ownership in a responsible, thoughtful manner before making that big decision.
