NEW YORK – Lala, a 3-month-old black Lab, romped into Ufuoma George’s life a few weeks ago, just as she retreated into her New York apartment in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Lala, she thought, would be company. But she’s turned out to be so much more. “Being alone at home kind of is hard,” says George, “but with a pet you have someone to take care of, someone to play with you, someone to greet you in the morning, so it’s kind of like really calming and comforting.” Whether it’s a dog, a cat or, yes, a hedgehog named Quillie Nelson, pets are proving to be unexpected heroes in lockdown.
They include the newly adopted and fostered like Lala; people have flooded shelters, looking for pets to fill their extra hours at home.
