Several days ago, I spoke with my brother in Colorada via skype. He said he had a surprise for me.
He had adopted a beautiful chocolate lab female pup named Kona. It brought tears to my eyes, because I assumed that people would not be adopting dogs at this time.
Now Kona was not a rescue or pound pup. He said his neighbor had a liter, and that all pups had been adopted by neighbors.
His wife indicated to me that she knew that local pounds were empty. Apparently people are indeed adopting dogs at a higher rate than normal for companionship, which was splendid news to me!
