Are people abandoning pets because they're cash-strapped?

Posted by LuchAAA on Fri Apr 3 02:53:15 2020

Seems like more pets, especially dogs, are being found as strays, since the coronacrisis.

Makes sense that people feeling the financial crunch might get rid of a pet because it's one less expense. Cruel but probably some truth to it.

It happens after weather disasters too.

I haven't heard or seen anything like that where I live. Where are you hearing this?

I too have never heard of this. However,if there is any truth to this, as an animal lover, anyone who gets caught doing this should be arrested & have the book thrown at them. Then the cost of feeding Fido would seem minimal compared to the expense of tossing Fido

I ordered a few months of dog food and treats from Chewy.com.

Chewy has been having issues filling orders. We order 7 cases of food per month for our former rescue members of our family. Our last order came in two shipments because of their issues so we've also had to fill in from supermarkets locally.
