Forever Home: Despite pandemic, pet adoptions rise
Although everyone was encouraged to stay home throughout the coronavirus pandemic, many pets continued to move into and out of homes over the past year.
Organizations such as the Butler County Humane Society and the Butler County Community Cat Network take in animals in need of homes and prepare them to be adopted, in hopes of finding their forever homes.
The coronavirus pandemic has increased the number of pets adopted through the Butler County Humane Society.
Fran Marzullo, volunteer coordinator at the humane society, said the increase in adoptions was somewhat of a surprise, but an overall positive for the shelter.
“We had more adoptions really because of more people being at home,” Marzullo said. “I think that contributed: people being at home with them more.”
