Local Animal Shelter Sees Decrease in Adoption Rates Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
The local animal shelter has recently been facing a challenging situation as adoption rates have significantly decreased in the past few months. Sarah Johnson, the shelter manager, expressed her concern over the lack of adoptions despite their best efforts to find loving homes for the animals.
Johnson believes that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has played a major role in the decrease in adoptions. With restrictions in place and people fearing for their safety, many potential adopters are hesitant to visit the shelter in person. In response to this, the shelter has implemented strict safety measures to protect both the staff and potential adopters.
Despite these safety measures, the number of adoptions has continued to decline, leaving many animals without a forever home. Johnson is urging the community to consider adopting from the shelter and help support their efforts to find loving homes for animals in need.
“We are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the adoption process,” Johnson said. “Our priority is always the well-being of the animals, and we want to see them placed in loving homes as soon as possible.”
The shelter is open for adoptions by appointment only, and they have also started offering virtual meet-and-greets for those who are unable to visit in person. They have a variety of animals available for adoption, including dogs, cats, and small animals.
“We are committed to finding the best possible homes for these animals,” Johnson added. “We appreciate the support of the community and hope that together we can make a difference in the lives of these animals.”
Those interested in adopting from the shelter can visit their website or contact them directly to schedule an appointment. Your support can make a difference in the lives of these animals in need.
