Really hope those are permanent homes and there aren't any that get returned.
yeah most shelters stop adoption before the holidays. But I sure hope they were right to do it!
I definitely agree with the idea but I have experienced the opposite. We adopted our dog the day after Christmas last year and were looking at a few different adoption agencies for about 6 weeks leading up to adopting our puppy last year. We adopted through ASAP, we're looking at SPCA (where we adopted our cats 5 years ago), and also looked at 2 local shelters who all had no restrictions around the holidays.
All in all I'm so happy with the experience but I've heard of moratoriums around holidays but outside of rabbits at easter, have never actually seen the idea implemented.
You'd have more luck hoping for Santa to be real...
