Here's why new pet owners say now is the perfect time to adopt. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Many Americans are using their increased time at home to bond with new pets. Others, like those self-isolating alone, have gotten pets in hopes that they'll find a new friend in them.Until she adopted Cholla, who she named after a type of cactus, Nemeck had been self-isolating alone in her Phoenix apartment. She'd been thinking about adopting a dog for years and even came close to it a few times.
She also she saw a real need to adopt. "I read a couple of articles that a lot of people were surrendering their dogs at shelters and that shelters were having to cut back their hours to keep their volunteers and staff safe," Nemeck says. Cholla was shy, but sweet when Nemeck first met her and has warmed up a lot since. The two spend all of their time together, and Nemeck looks forward to the adventures they'll have together. "She's a little out of shape, but I want to eventually take her hiking and camping with me."Not only do pets provide companionship to humans, but spending time with a pet can be mentally and emotionally beneficial, as well as physically relaxing, Sanderson tells CNBC Make It.
People who have their dog with them during a stressful examination will have a lower heart rate and lower blood pressure than they would otherwise, Sanderson says. And like a test, this pandemic is "a really stressful circumstance," she adds. "Many people are worried about their finances, their health. ... Simply having a dog around is going to be really helpful in terms of reducing things that we know are very bad cardiovascularly."
