In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Kelly DiCicco, who’s the adoptions promotions manager at the ASPCA, told us that despite the recent surge in pet adoptions due to the Covid pandemic and quarantine, animal shelters are under immense strain right now.“

Since it began, COVID-19 has put an immense amount of strain on animal shelters across the country. Because this is an ever-changing situation, each shelter is facing unique challenges specific to its community.”

Due to social distancing requirements, many shelters had to reduce staff members, which “has meant reductions or limits to the number and types of services offered to the public.”

Moreover, most shelters have been hit financially due to reduced donations and the inability to host in-person fundraising events. It turns out that these events in particular play a key role in annual fundraising efforts.

But while the pandemic has created a lot of new challenges for shelters, many are now implementing innovative solutions to adopting procedures.

“With hundreds of thousands of animals across the country currently in shelters, with rescue groups, and in foster care, animal welfare organizations are implementing innovative solutions, including virtual or socially-distanced adoptions, online meet-and-greets using video chat, and minimal-contact drop-offs or pickups to help these animals find adoptive homes.”

Right now, many shelters are working hard to make sure that each pet in need of a loving forever family will not lose a chance to gain one due to the pandemic.

Its time to smash this erroneous opinion that to buy a dog(or cat) means you get a better animal. There is NO reason to buy from a breeder when there are millions of dogs & cats worldwide that need a home , some are in shelters but many are with smaller charities in foster homes. When you buy from a breeder your money goes into their pockets, many breeders dont care about the dogs or cats and keep the animals in awful conditions. Even "reputable" breeders are doing it for the money. Dogs and Cats are not "things" they are not disposable like a handbag or games console they are vulnerable lives that need a loving home and a family that care for them if you are prepared to give love and care you will get the most wonderful best friend. You need to be fully prepared for the responsibility of having a pet but if you rescue you know that you will be giving a 2nd chance to an animal and they will be as much a part of your family as any human.

People who buy pets from breeders are not quite right in the head if you ask me, even if you want a special dog or cat breed you can find them for adoption, in Germany there´s even an org for purebred cats, and one for purebred dogs who´ve been dumped to the shelter, but ain´t the mixed breeds the cutest ones???

#AdoptDontShop, I´d never ever buy a cat from a breeder, Gizzy and Thori both came from different private homes, but would´ve ended up at shelters, nobody but me wanted to adopt then totally traumatized (from abuse) Gizzy at the age of about 6 1/2 in Oct. ´10 or hyperactive (feline ADHD) Thori at the age of almost 6 years in May ´13, NOBODY, I took the challenge and "won" their trust and their love, I hope my 2 furboys will be with me for some more wonderpurr years, inbetween I´d adopted Angel Sisi from my mom who´d had to move to a retirement home in July ´14, she´d been 12 years old yet then and she crossed the bridge on January the 5th ´18.... I´d adopt her again anytime if I could. We had a great time, the 4 of us together, and now the 3 of us still have a great time.

Adopting a shelter animal is AWESOME. Dogs should be companions in a loving forever family, not status symbols or one more thing to have around the house.

We adopted our baby boy 4 yrs ago. He was dumped at the shelter 2x, 1st was they had allergies(?), 2nd was he does not like cats. The poor baby is very very skiddish and protective. He is so fricking spoiled now.

I so wish I could adopt another dog.. but.. our shelters are only full of pitties and staffords that had bad bad owners and I don't think I want to take the risk with the other pets I have.

go on-line there are loads of charities that have dogs in foster families in the USA and Europe. As these dogs live in a home their temperament is known and also how they get on with other animals.

I have it on my bucket list to adopt a pittie. I'll have to be super careful (with any dog no matter the breed) because I have free range goats and pigs. There's a missing piece out there for every incomplete puzzle though, so I'm sure I'll find him/her when the time is right.

6 years ago I got my boston terrier, Elli, who was rescued from a puppy mill. She was very jumpy and on edge at first, but warmed up after about half a year. She lived to be 18 years old, and died earlier this year. She wasn't in pain and I stayed with her while she passed. I'll always love you, Elli

Thank you all people, #AdoptDontShop is one of my (c)attitudes either, you can find the cutest cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds or what kinds of animals ever for adoption, you have to pay a fee at the shelters to help them rescue more pets, but if you buy a pet from a breeder you have to pay for the vaccinations, for spaying/neutering, for micro-chipping and more, and the shelter pets´re usually fully vetted yet, so the 100 - 200 € or $ that you have to pay for them as fee´re much cheaper than buying a pet from a breeder and paying for all the treatment and so on would be.

I always point that out to people who don't want to adopt from a rescue organisation (I don't know why) – in SA, the fee for adopting a dog is usually around R1000, and includes sterilisation, microchipping, and all deworming and vaccinations for the first 4-6 months. If you buy a dog or get one for free from goodness knows where, you have to pay for all of those things out of pocket – sterilisation alone can be around R1500 for a female, all the other things are probably going to add up to another R1000+... Adopting a rescue has nothing but benefits for everyone involved. And rescue pets know they've been rescued ❤❤

Reputable breeders don't make any profit, by the time they've run the health checks.
