Almost a full month into the worldwide quarantine and most of us are practicing social distancing and staying home. Because we are staying home, we see ourselves in a repeated cycle of work, eat, sleep and etc. This may cause a lot of us to go through numerous emotions which may include fear, anxiety, stress and a bit of depression. But don’t worry, millions of people are feeling the same way you may be feeling.

It is always great to see positive outcomes out of a sucky situation. It has been reported that successful visits to animal adoption centers have increased tremendously since the beginning of quarantine. People are seeing that having a pet is definitely a great way to find companionship! It fights against loneliness, and gives us a cuddly, unconditional love sort of distraction.

We love our animals. To that end, the Amsterdam News wanted to share some of their furry friends. Enjoy, and send us your pet pics to amanda.ulloa@amsterdamnews.com
