As the world enters unprecedented territory due to the coronavirus pandemic, every corner of every industry has been impacted.
That includes animal shelters, who house thousands of homeless cats and dogs around Australia.
With volunteer numbers down due to workers being told to self-isolate and social distance, it has become increasingly difficult for the homeless animals to be taken care of as per usual.
Hence, the RSPCA has put out a plea for those who are capable to adopt or foster a pet.
Mamamia spoke to Bondi vet Dr Chris Brown about why adopting a pet now could be great timing, but also emphasises that we shouldn’t be “puppy panic buying”.
