No one giving up their pet is going to tell the truth that they made a mistake adopting an animal when they were WfH on the pandemic. They are much more likely to tell a story where the blame is projected onto something else.
Adoptions of puppies and kittens are probably up for the same reasons. Less people getting new animals because they adopted during the pandemic and more irresponsible owners not getting dogs and cats spayed or neutered.

I remember everyone & their dog getting dogs during the pandemic and was worried it would end up like this.
Short sighted people who wanted the companionship during lockdowns but whose regular lifestyles can't manage them.
