We're being encouraged to give our pets some extra love and attention this week for World Animal Week.
The ISPCA is reminding pet owners to be responsible and get their four legged friends neutered and micro-chipped.
The charity's launching its Give Them a Voice campaign on social media to raise awareness about animal welfare.

The campaign also coincides with the feast day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals on World Animal Day, October 4th 2017.

ISPCA Public Relations Manager Carmel Murray said: “Each and every one of us can make a difference to improve animal welfare and during World Animal Week, there is no better time to give animals a voice.
They cannot speak for themselves and World Animal Week is the perfect time to celebrate the wonderful role our pets play in our lives. Share a photograph or video of your adorable pet online using #GiveThemAVoice and #ISPCA. They cannot tell their stories themselves so we need you, our incredible animal lovers and supporters to tell their stories for them to #GiveThemAVoice.
