A rational step for couples with pets - signing a Pupnup

Students from TMU’s law school will help you draft a Pupnup that will be signed by a lawyer.
Did you give your partner a pet over the holiday? Are you considering giving your partner a pet for Valentine’s Day? Part of being responsible pet parents is to make sure you have plans in place for your beloved pet in case a breakup between you and your partner happens.
This is why students at TMU’s Lincoln Alexander School of Law have created Pupnups - a document that plans for pet custody and care in the event of a breakup.
“When a relationship breaks down, the pet's best interest can be obscured by the couple's tension, stress and potential power struggles or communication difficulties,” said Carolyn MacDonald, a third-year law student and student case worker at the Pet Dispute Clinic, which is operated through TMU’s law school.
“It's really important for couples to consider pet custody and plan ahead while their relationship is strong.”
