Question

I rec’d this plant over 8 years ago at my mom’s funeral. It has been happy living w/ my Dad, but he wants to get rid of it, so we cut it down, and I have no idea what it is called and how to care, if it is dangerous to pets. Please help me identify – give care advice – and verify if it is poisonious or dangerous. thank you
