PETS

DURING THE

PANDEMIC

By Lauren Daniels

The Coronavirus put the United States

into turmoil since the beginning of 2020,

but the concerns and lockdowns began

during the month of March. It has devastated

families due to its large death toll

and economic consequences. As school

closed, I spent more time on social media

and noticed that so many people were

adopting pets. Humans love animals,

especially their pets. There is a loving,

calming effect when it comes to caring for

an animal that could use our help. This article

discusses heart-warming pet adoption

stories, including my own rescue story and

dives into the question of why so many

people decided to get a pet during these

grappling times.

Taylor adopted Clover on May 8th.

Taylor’s dog passed away in early March.

She said she “couldn’t possibly quarantine

without a furry companion.” When Clover

came up on her feed, she knew it was

meant to be! Even though Clover is a silly

klutz, she is also very clever. Taylor has

taught Clover how to get a nose boop and

many other tricks. Taylor says that “having

something to distract me from the events

going on was key for me. She gave me an

extra reason to enjoy staying home. Being

there to help her warm up to her new

home and watch her thrive was amazing.”

Clover has kept Taylor and her family

joyous during these uncertain times.
