20 Most Wholesome Rescue Pet Photos Of December

Every year, more than 6.5 companion animals enter US shelters across the country. Among them, about 3.2 million are cats and 3.3 million are dogs. As claimed by ASPCA, these numbers are declining rapidly, which is very good news. Back in 2011, the number of cats and dogs entering the shelters were as high as 7.2 million. Out of these, around 3.2 million are adopted, while around 710,000 are returned to their owners.

To further increase the number of adoptions, the subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption encourages pet owners to share their experiences with adopted animals. Its aim is to encourage people to share the wonderful change and impact a loving and caring family can make on an abandoned or mistreated dog.

According to Kelly DiCicco, the Adoptions Promotions Manager at ASPCA, Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters across the country are facing various community-specific challenges. Emptying of cages in animal shelters has been especially imperative in 2020. The main reason for this is the limitation of services offered to the public due to social-distancing requirements. Additionally, financial issues such as reduction of funds and inability to host in-person fundraising events have negatively affected the maintenance of animal shelters.

By adopting an animal in need, you are not only saving an animal’s life. But, you are also saving up resources for other animals in need by freeing up space in animal shelters. An added benefit of adoption is that the staff can detailed information on an animal’s history, temperament, medical needs, behavior, etc. They also examine the lifestyle, home environment of potential adopters, and the animal’s compatibility with children and other pets. This will surely help you to find the perfect addition to your family.
