Since the start of the Coronavirus spread, animal shelters in several countries see record high adoption rates. Most new adoptions have been reportedly from people living alone.

Since more and more countries finally enforce self-quarantine and limit the population from gathering and leaving the house only when absolute necessary, those living alone are looking for a friend to spend the time with.

In the video below, rows of empty kennels can be seen at an animal shelter located in Colorado Springs. While the shelter expects to see more “furry friends,” it’s a big victory adopting out every single animal.

We hope these cats and dogs have found a new home, not just for a short time frame but for life.
