Yohannan added that there are many animals in shelters across the U.S. that are in need of loving homes.
"People should consult their local rescue organization and consider adopting," she said. "If someone is not ready to adopt, they can foster and/or volunteer. North Shore Animal League America relies on the support of donors all across the country to continue our lifesaving work."
