COVID 19 - PETS
Description (Dublin Core)
Pictured in the photo is my 2 year-old mut, Nala. Like many dogs during the pandemic
of COVID-19, she was happy. The governor of Massachusetts issued a stay-at-home order that forced many businesses to begin operating online, employees to work remotely, and students to be taught through a screen. This left residents with not much to do as facilities closed to stop the spread of the virus, and so, people turned to the shelters and pet adoption. It seemed like the perfect time to welcome a new family member into the household-- people were able to spend more time taking care of puppies who might have needed extra training or surveillance at home. Shelters all across America were being flooded with adoption applications during the pandemic, and other shelters even ran out of dogs to adopt. Nala’s smiling face in the photo represents the simplicity of the happiness one can get from spending more time with family. It was a silver lining during these uncertain times.
