No one likes to be alone. So, why not take advantage of your free time to adopt and help a pet adapt?
Good news during the coronavirus pandemic: the number of pet adoptions has increased during the pandemic ! It is estimated that the demand for dogs and cats has increased by around 50% during social isolation. Among the main reasons are the search for a companion so as not to be alone and the free time to help the pet adapt.
The number of animal adoptions increased during the pandemic
There are approximately 172,000 animals in non-governmental institutions in Brazil, the famous NGOs and animal rights associations. A large part of this number is made up of dogs waiting for a home. Although interest in adoption has grown in recent weeks, some protectors say that there have been many requests for adoption for a fixed period: until the pandemic is over. There is no such thing as a fixed-term adoption, only temporary homes, but there is another purpose that you can learn about by clicking here ! Generally, requests for a fixed-term adoption are denied, after all, it is a life.
One of the justifications for why the number of animal adoptions increased during the pandemic is the need for closeness and touch that we all feel. Human beings need this. If you want to adopt, before adding to this statistic, you need to know if you really want the responsibility of taking care of a pet. To do this, it is essential to think about your life before and after social isolation. Review your routine and that of your family, think about whether you will have the time and resources to take care of a dog or a cat.
It’s okay to want a companion to help you get through this stressful time, but consider whether you’ve wanted a pet before and whether that desire will continue when you can meet up with your friends and family normally.
