While our news feeds are flooded by goofy animals providing us isolation relief, there are strays who don’t get the share of attention and care. These stray animals rely on vegetable markets for food. As human activity is exponentially reduced and businesses are closed, these animals are facing starvation.

Here small daily acts which people can do to help stray animals be safe and healthy:

• Place water and food bowls outside your houses.
• Coordinate with other residents in your neighborhood to do the same and help the strays in your locality avoid starvation.
• Speak to local authorities and animal welfare organizations for animal assistance as they can aid in decision making and help in caring for stray animals during the pandemic.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the world we live in and mostly in a depressive tone. But despite the gloom of isolation in our homes, the animals we live with do their best to keep us happy even when they’re oblivious to what’s happening outside.

Megan Mueller, the Elizabeth Arnold Stevens Junior Professor at Cummings School said, “A lot of us are connecting remotely with other people right now, and that’s great. But pets are physically present in a way that other forms of social and emotional support aren’t these days for many people, and there’s really something to having that tactile component of petting or touching a pet.”

Last February 24, The American Humane’s annual Palm Beach luncheon honored seven canines (Alice, Sgt.Yeager, Dax, Jeanie, Lady, Piglet, and Gus.) with the Hero Dog Awards. Each has its own heroic story to tell:

Alice helped a shooting victim by alerting him to oncoming seizures and assisting him with his balance issues.

Sgt. Yeager was an army dog that led more than 100 patrols in Iraq and Afghanistan with Marines and located dozens of explosive devices.

Dax apprehended more than 70 suspects, found dozens of missing children and adults, and participated in 100 narcotic searches yielding a lot of invaluable evidence.

More than 300 people attended the luncheon in which the proceeds go to the American Humane.

Last Friday, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the closure of North Central and West Valley animal shelters after a massive transfer into foster homes of sheltered animals.

When shelter officials got busy creating shelter space as the pandemic worsened in March, 2,232 animals were divided and moved into foster homes. Some were reunited with their owners and some of the animals will be moved to one of the other four shelter facilities (East Valley, Harbor, Chesterfield Square, or West Los Angeles) for pandemic protection.

“In order to continue providing excellent care for our City’s animals during the COVID-19 crisis and safety precautions for our employees, beginning on Monday, April 13th, the LA Animal Services department (LAAS) will close its West Valley and North Central Animal Services Centers,” Garcetti said.

For those who are interested in adopting, visit LA Animal Service’s website or call 888-452-7381.

Devanshi Shah, Founder and CEO of Pet Connect, in Hyderabad shares:

• Pets give us a sense of purpose. People who are office goers lack a mission in daily life. Owning a pet gives us all a real sense of responsibility with emotional gratification.
• Pets keep us emotionally strong. Being with a pet at home is a better situation than being alone.
• Owning a pet can be mentally stimulating. The use of TV, mobile phones, and the internet make us less perceptive and mentally proactive. Meanwhile, owning a dog that is an intelligent being can mentally challenge you to create or improvise activities that are good for both of your brains.

Therapy Animal Coalition, Jacksonville’s nonprofit, puts together a virtual project in which pet owners and animal therapy teams share videos to help people in isolation curb their loneliness.

The project has been created and is running for a few days now but videos are still being submitted. As long as there are people who need a virtual furry connection, the program will continue.

Therapy Animal Coalition Board Kristi Leonard says, “The benefit of doing this is we have so many people who want to be a therapy team with their animals, but sometimes animals are unable to make the certification cut due to many different reasons.” Videos to be submitted can be 30 to 60 seconds long which features animals with uplifting actions.

Navi Mumbai, India – A dog in need of veterinary help has died as a result of local police refusing to provide an essential service pass to its owner thrice. Even veterinarians and clinic staff are prohibited from going to work.

Not only that, but both pet owners and clinic staff face opposition from local residents before they can reach clinics. “My society has said that if I go out, I must not come back in. I have two cats at home. How can I not come back?” said Dharvesh Yadav, a para vet working in a clinic at Andheri who hasn’t reported for the past 4 days.

The Blue Cross Charity of Tiverton and Torquay, England has launched the campaign of awarding the Blue Cross Medal to prove that not all who wear capes are heroes – some are with fur and four legs.

Sally de la Bedoyere, Blue Cross Chief Executive, said, “The Blue Cross Medal champions all heroic pets – from amazing assistance or therapy pets and animals in the services, to every-day household pets who make exceptional companions. If you own or know of a pet that has done something out of the ordinary to change someone’s life, we want to hear from you.”

This year will be the 80th anniversary of the medal’s milestone and the nationwide search lasts until April 30 this year.

Pocatello Animal Services Director Josh Heinz reassures the public that there are still four employees looking after the animals in the pound. The animals supposed to be endangered without care are receiving the same treatment as before.

The shelter had been closed to the public to help stop the spread of COVID-1 and pet adoptions are being forbidden in the meantime. Aside from the animals receiving care as they did before, the pound and its staff members still respond to calls of picking up stray animals made by the public.

An exception to this is that the pound will not take in trapped stray animals and strongly advises local residents to cease trapping amidst the pandemic.
