One good thing about the pandemic is that it helped save a lot of animals from rescues and shelters because a lot of us were in need of a companion during the lockdowns. But now we’re going back to our pre-pandemic life, a lot of pets adopted due to the pandemic are now being returned to the shelters of where they came from.

“You have a full-time job, a social life, you can leave home and still be foster, volunteer, or adopt a pet. When we get back to normal, we shouldn’t stop thinking that people can engage in this,” said Jennifer Schluter from the Municipal Care and Management of Animals in Chicago.

If you can afford to care for and feed your adopted pets, it might be best to get a nanny for them. If you’re struggling to keep your companion animal well-fed, you can ask for help from pet pantries. Choosing to stand by your decision to give an animal a forever home is a huge help to other fur babies because this allows other shelters to house new rescues.
