Towards the end of the year, "Let the Animals Live" publishes for the first time unprecedented and very difficult data that indicate a decline in dog adoptions in the association's shelters - a 38% decrease in dog adoptions compared to 2020.
A dog that is known as "man's best friend", and alleviated people's loneliness led to the happy days in Corona, where so many dogs were adopted, turned into days of sadness and frustration for the people who abandoned them and returned them to the cage for no injustice.
This year was marked by a return to routine, which made it difficult for people to raise animals and bring them back to shelters.
According to the data revealed for the first time - in 2020 they adopted 1078 dogs in the "Let the Animals Live" shelter, while this year they adopted only 667 dogs, at the same time as abandoning 150 dogs and returning them to the shelter.
In the cat sector in particular, there was an increase, from 226 cats in 2020 to 267 cats in 2021, probably due to the fact that a cat requires less tampering / care compared to the dog
Yael Arkin, CEO of "Let the Animals Live": "Many will testify that a dog and a cat are much more than an animal, but a full part of the family.
There is no substitute for the joy and happiness experienced by the dog, cat and family that adopts him and gives him a warm home.
This year, was at an unprecedented low point for the amount of adoptions, there is nothing sadder than seeing a dog or cat in a cage.
We call on people to come and adopt a friend, especially in the winter. "
