The Big Surrender

 Hi everyone, and welcome to this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  So, this is an episode that I knew was coming but I just didn’t know when.  In early 2020, the world was plunged into a Pandemic and we were all faced with lockdowns, remote learning for schools, closures of businesses, restaurants, and job loss as well as a new working from home schedule.  The working from home, created a huge exponential rise of dog and cat adoptions as people were home and thought this would be a good time to get a puppy or kitten.  Fast forward to 2022, and now these pandemic pets are finding themselves filling local animal shelters.Join me as we look at the cause of this new epidemic, and ways, we can avoid it.Thanks for listening!Please remember to follow or subscribe to ensure that you never miss an episode.You can support the podcast by purchasing a coffee, or two at our ko-fi page.  All proceeds go towards the running of Val Talks Pets.Please don't forget to Rate and Review each episode that you find helpful/educational.  By doing so you will help others find Val Talks Pets.Also, please visit and be a part of my website at valtalkspets.com and help it grow!Thanks for all your support!
