Every year almost 8 million dogs and puppies get euthanized because they can't find homes. During COVID, however, many individuals adopted dogs during lockdown. This helped dogs find homes and assisted with social interaction that individuals began to miss. In a short time, hundreds of dogs were adopted and shelters began to face a problem they have never faced before. Shelters were now empty, with no dogs available for adoption. During the stress and strain of COVID, dog owners were now thriving with a new best friend and a lot of love and social interation. Studies have shown that these adopted dogs helped relieve the stress and fear that everyone was going through. When looking for a new puppy, it is highly recommended that you adopt. This helps alleviate overpopulation, euthanasia and cruel mass breeding. Adoption also cost less and most puppies are already microchipped and vaccinated.
