If the humans won’t come to the dogs, the dogs will come to the humans, and that’s exactly what Dogtown decided to embark on with their adoption days.
Life’s tough – we know it, you know it, and it’s even got a little tougher over the past year, but one thing that’s consistent is our dogs’ love.
With the pandemic, so many people’s lives have changed. Even today with the ease on our lockdown regulations, people aren’t wanting to go out and travel. We’ve all moved a little more into ourselves. Which, in my humble opinion, can’t be good for us. The isolation and lack of interactions with people has to take its toll on us. Of course, I look at everything in life from a dog’s point of view, and I’ve seen dogs in shelters that experience little to no human and dog interaction, and it has a detrimental effect on their well-being.
You know what would make a human in isolation happier? You guessed it – a dog! With our way of life changing so much, we decided to take a look at adoption days and turn them on their head.
