8 Best Things That Happened in 2020

The rate of pet adoptions has increased significantly

If the rate of pet adoptions has increased dramatically, it means that the percentage of euthanized animals has dropped significantly, right? In conclusion, people saved more than just the life of a poor animal, they saved a lot of animals from being euthanized. 

There are two categories of people these days, namely those who are afraid of the coronavirus pandemic and believe that they can get the novel virus from them, so they abandon their furry friends and those individuals who have more free time and choose to adopt a pure soul and take care of them for life. Luckily, the percentage of people in the second category is higher than the first one. In other words, statistics show that people adopted more cats and dogs during the quarantine. 

For instance, the Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary in Green Bay, Wisconsin reported a thirty percent increase in animal adoptions during the pandemic compared to other years. The same goes for other countries in Europe and Australia. 

If you want a pet and you are looking for a purebred one, it is important to remember that you can find one even at animal shelters, without spending a lot of money. So, choose to adopt instead of buying animals. Plus, don’t worry, because studies have shown that dogs and cats can’t spread the new coronavirus.
