Despite Rumors Pandemic Puppies Doing Fine In Wichita Falls
There s a story making the rounds in the national news about a lot of the puppies and kittens that got adopted in the early days of the pandemic that are now making their way back to the animal shelters because the people that adopted them are going back to work and don t have the time to take care of them any more.
Fortunately that does not seem to be the case in Wichita Falls.
When the lockdowns began, people started missing interactions with other people and decided it was a good time to adopt a new pet. In fact the pet adoption rate rose 12% across the country. It rose in the Wichita Falls area, too. Cheryl Heineken with the Humane Society of Wichita County told Texoma s Homepage that they were a little concerned at the start but that we ve not had any kind of increase in returns in our area.
