“The companionship of pets has been shown to reduce stress and lower anxiety,” said
the CEO of Best Friends Animal Society.
“If you don’t have a pet and are thinking about getting one, now is the perfect time to
‘try it on’ by fostering from your local shelter. Shelters and pet adoption facilities
nationwide need people to foster pets on a temporary basis,” Julie Castle the CEO of
Best Friends Animal Society, told PEOPLE about how they can help rescue pets and
themselves during the coronavirus pandemic.

The choice to foster an animal during this time will also greatly help your local shelter,
which is likely su ering from a lag in adoptions, an increase in intakes and limited
resources

2. “Animal shelters across the country are having to deal with an increase of dogs and cats
in need of homes because fewer people are visiting shelters right now, and in some
cases, shelters are having to temporarily close to the public,” Castle added. “Some
animal shelters are already seeing an increase in intake, and many are bracing
themselves for the possibility of fewer adoptions and fewer foster homes, and are
concerned about limited space.”
For those who already have pets and can’t currently take in another, the CEO of Best
Friends Animal Society, the largest no-kill animal welfare organization in the country,
urges pet owners to show their furry friend love now more than ever.

“Best Friends hopes to assure people with pets that their relationships with their dogs
and cats should remain unchanged and there is no reason to consider surrendering pets
to shelters,” she said.
“It’s not only safe to keep pets in the home, but also bene cial, as they can serve as a
source of comfort during a crisis,” Castle added on the perks of having a pet. “The
companionship of pets has been shown to reduce stress and lower anxiety, helping
people to feel calmer and more secure when the news from the outside world is
distressing.”
Castle also suggests stocking up on a month-long supply of food and medication for your
pet, keeping their medical records updated and on hand, washing your hands before
and after handling your pet, and regularly disinfecting your pet’s products (bowls,
leashes, beds, etc.) as ways to keep you and your pet safe during the coronavirus
pandemic.
