    Yeah, the pandemic just gave us the best example why many people shouldnt get pets that require a lot of effort and time.

    At the start of the pandemic many people got cats / dogs ( of course bought them not adopted them ;( ) because they were home and had time during lockdown. But after it was over they didnt had any time and gave it up for adoption.

    Everyone needs to check if they have not just now time but in the future too and if they have the money to have the pet. And get yours best from adoption as this reduces the “intentional-pretty” breeding, that harms them ( for example pugs and their 24/7 breathing issue ).

      Hey now. I periodically volunteer at the local SPCA and they got absolutely cleaned out when COVID hit (then rapidly filled back up again, because strays are everywhere, but still…) 2020 was the best year for rescue animals, possibly in all of human history.

        But the worst too. As saaid many got new pets and ditched them after the lockdown. It could be some of them are from some shelters but many got ditched afterwards too
