As many around the nation begin shutting down for the year, those on the frontline in health and service roles are gearing up for some chaos.
One sector in particular is the animal rescue and shelter community, who are currently being swamped with animals ahead of the festive season.
This comes as shelters report record amounts of animals being handed in, with many having at least a 12 month waitlist before being able to accept animals.
Financial stress is one of the major causes for animals being handed back in.
The other major cause being a large chunk of selfish yuppie fucks making impulse purchases during the spicy cough era because they were adversely affected by a major pandemic that meant they had to stay at home for a little while.
With a huge number of a exactly 3 year old dogs being handed back, it can be confirmed that a number of inner city types who purchased dogs they shouldn’t have, are now, like most other mildly inconvenient things in their lives, making it someone else’s problem.
One recent dog returner by the name Elyse Willis (29) explained to The Advocate that she just thinks dumping the dog on someone else is the best solution.
“It’s just better for everyone,” said Elyse, who means it’s better for her.
“It’s so tough to hand him back, but unfortunately that’s just the way things worked out,” explained the woman who bought a dog wildly unsuitable for her lifestyle as an apartment liver.
While it was potentially foreseeable at the time that a kelpie cross dog might not have been a good idea from a renter who moves apartments every 24 months and goes overseas for a month every year, Elyse denied that she was supposed to know.
“Haha I’m just such a doer, and like at the time it seemed like such a good idea.”
“But yeah, given Buttons would kill mum and dad’s little dogs I can’t send him there, so unfortunately I just have to drop him off at the shelter.”
“What can ya do.”
