"During this period of great uncertainty, one bright spot has been the incredibly passionate response from people willing to open their homes and hearts to foster and adopt vulnerable shelter animals," Pamela Reid, PhD, CAAB, Vice President of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Behavioral Sciences Team, told Bored Panda in a statement. "At the ASPCA, we have seen a nearly 70 percent increase in animals going into foster care through our New York City and Los Angeles foster programs, compared to the same time period in 2019. Even in times of crisis, Americans are stepping up to show their commitment to animals in need."

Not all animal shelters expected this. "We thought people were going to bring their animals in and then run for the hills," Katy Hansen, communications director for the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), told Vox. However, the pandemic opened up an entirely new demographic of potential pet fosters: "The people that were filling up the applications were primarily millennials who lived with roommates. That's not a demographic that we usually see coming forward to foster because they're working and they live with three people." At any given time, ACC has over 600 animals in their care. Now, it's less than 100.

Reid also noted that it's important to think about the future when our regular work and school routines commence again. "Your dog or cat may be left confused (and lonely!) once everyone is rushing out the door instead of spending time at home. Even while you and your family are home, start to prepare your pet by designating time for them to spend ... alone throughout the day."

First, Reid suggested creating a cozy, inviting place for your dog or cat to nap away from all the activity of remote work and school. You can even put on some soothing music or radio. For example, there are Spotify playlists dedicated entirely to calming your pet.

"When giving your pet time away from you, offer your dog tasty chews to keep him busy. You can purchase all sorts of interesting and easily digestible chews online, such as bully sticks, tendons, tracheas, scapulas and cheek rolls," Reid explained. "Both dogs and cats will also be entertained for some time with an interactive food-puzzle toy."

The Neighbours Wanted To Put Down This Dog Due To Being Very Aggressive. Instead, My Dad Adopted Him Into Our Family

Also, there are many free game apps for cats to play with on their own. Reid said you can also find battery-operated toys online that may keep your cat busy and happy on their own. "Leave your home and take a stroll outside without your dog occasionally to practice leaving the house for short durations. While you're out, leave your dog a chew or their meal in a puzzle toy to keep them busy and occupied during your absence."

Pets have kept us company for thousands of years, and they've been especially helpful during the quarantine, helping us manage our stress and anxiety levels. So let's try to put in the extra effort and help them transition back to normal life when the pandemic is over.

My dog Aubree has been in too many homes to count. People didn´t want her because she´s anxious, has ear problems, and is a little clumsy. But she is fun and hard-headed which makes her fit in. We are currently working on helping her ears and have had her for a few years now. We hope that in the near future we will be able to get her a little sister to play with her.

People think that they can bring a dog home and he will be “normal.” Dogs need a lot of time to establish a routine and feel safe in a new home. It can take months, but some people think if it is not instant, then the dog needs to go back. They are willing to do little to no work. I rescue dogs and I had someone return a dog after 24 hours, saying the dog missed me. When I asked them why they thought that, they said he whined all night. I sympathized and told them it takes time. When I enquired further as to what the sleeping arrangements were, they said they had put him in a crate in the basement and shut all of the lights. No wonder the dog whined. He was frightened! I always tell adopters that it is a good idea to crate a new dog at night in their bedroom for a bit so they don’t wander and that many find the crate a safe space. But, who thinks it is a good idea to put a dog in a crate alone in the basement??? Needless to say, I took the dog back Immediately.

He is not smiling. He's letting you know that he has enough . Next step is biting. Please gain ANY knowledge about a pet that you are going to adopt BEFORE adopting him.

I remember how impatient i got waiting for a kitten. If it helps, they are learning much important cat secret stuff from their mums. ( or foster mums ) So exciting when they finally come home.

My mum's first indoor cat was black with yellow eyes. She saved him when she was 18 from a church's backyard. A cat had given birth to a litter of five. He was the only black kitten and the woman taking care of the church yard thought him 'devil spawn', and tried to beat him to death. Mum pushed her to the side and took him home. He lived to be 24 and died when I was 14, with half his black coat white from age. We miss him so much.

This Is Finn. I Adopted Him 2 Weeks Ago

He was likely abused in a previous home. He doesn’t like me approaching him, when he comes near me it’s always cautiously and for a limited time, and I can’t touch him. I would die for this goober!

Thank you for rescuing him. Wishing you both the best possible. I had a cat with similar fear, just gently keep at it. Treats! even if you can not hand feed him, just put down a treat as close as you can get. Talk softly, repeat about every 2 hours. .... It took me 3 weeks to work out what my current rescue loved to eat most. Now we are best friends :))))

Rabbits make great pets. I have had two over the course of several years. However, they are more fragile than cats or dogs. Make sure that they are supervised, especially around wiring because they like to chew. Good luck.
