I have already told one of my neighbor friends that if I should get killed, die, or am incarcerated, to please come get my girl Lucy and take care of her. Of course I know he will, he is her uncle Tony, the one of a few persons she likes. Of course I have the same liability for his June Bug and Buster.
My neighbor has asked me to take his dog should he die.
You might want to put that in writing in case the authorities get to her first, so she doesn't disappear.
And I have told my friends and neighbors and kids that if I should die, would they please call the vet to have my mare put down forthwith. No one would adopt her, no one would deal with her ongoing problems and shortcomings, so she would soon be handed from one person to another an then go to auction. This would not be a good end. I would not have her mistreated or, worse, sent to Mexico to suffer a hideous death in the slaughterhouses there. Would rather she had a peaceful death with no fear or pain.
