“I see it all the time, but with this change, it’s going to happen even more, if you make it so you have something you can do right now while they’re at home in isolation and then when they’re no longer in isolation, the dog starts working on it; you’re going to see a lot of dogs going back to the Humane Society,” said Gunlicks.
“What we are most afraid of is an influx of many animals in a very short period of time, we can handle a few animals, but usually in the summer we see an increase in predators and we have not seen that yet. “When everything starts opening, we’re afraid we’re going to have all the backlogs we usually get this time of year and it’s going to happen all at once,” said Sioux Falls Area Humane Society Kennel Staff Leader Jennifer. Nemec.
“The biggest advice I can give people is that as they get used to that dog, that dog gets used to them, so be patient and do the training and communication; learning to understand the dog and its needs and fulfilling those needs and putting them in a routine so that they can continue to do that when everyone starts going back to work,” said Nemec.

For those with a new pet and returning to work, the Gunicks also offer this advice.
“What people can do is make the dog think it’s okay when you come home, bring something special like homemade rotisserie chicken, roast beef; something like that and sprinkle a little on their food for a few days and then continue for about three weeks when you go back to work full time and the dog goes, they go out hunting. This is good and they give me good things, said Gunlicks.

While some of these changes have been challenging, some additions since the pandemic have also brought great joy.

“He was a great thing and gave the kids something to do and something to do together,” Van Stedum said. “I have three kids … when they’re in the house all day every day, it can be intense. . . . So it was a good thing for them.”
“It was amazing, everyone who asked actually wanted a dog. It wasn’t a question of, oh, I might want a dog or do you have one, it was, we want a dog now,” said Brittney Veurink, owner of Doodles and Dors.
During the puppy boom of 2020, dog breeders were flooded with orders from all over the country.

“It was crazy, we talked about the puppies we had and the next litter, we talked about them,” said Veurink. – It was difficult.
Demand was so high, breeders of all sizes could charge almost anything for a puppy and still have people waiting on the waiting list.
The puppy boom allowed Doodles and Dors, a small family business in rural South Dakota, to expand its footprint.

“In 2021, we’re making a move to get a better, bigger building to make the dogs more comfortable,” Veurink said.
While the puppy boom may be waning, the wave of new pets amid the pandemic continues to have a major impact on many animal industries.
“We probably get 10 to 25 calls from people asking if we’re accepting new clients,” said Kenydie Hyde with Glamor Paws Pet Grooming.

“We’re booked through the end of this year and start in May 2021,” Hyde said.
“Since these puppies are grown and still around, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a week or two before you get the vaccinations,” Sioux Falls veterinarian Dr. Sarah Hoffer.
“In the emergency room, I’ve heard you can be there for four hours before you’re seen,” Hoffer said.

Dr. Sara Hoffer of South Central Veterinary Clinic says she has nearly tripled her client list since 2020, with many pet owners coming in with similar concerns.
“There’s definitely separation anxiety, the owners are back in the office and the dogs don’t know how to behave when they’re home alone,” Hoffer said.
This is a big reason why the demand for doggie day care is also seeing a huge increase in Sioux Falls.

“We have a long waiting list for our daycare, even after opening another building,” said Allison Wyant with Paws Pet Resort. “We’ve talked to a lot of parents and clients who found their dog in a time of violence, and they want a place to play and hang out during the day.”
“Allowing a place where we can raise well-trained dogs gives parents and dogs confidence and a good life together,” Wyant said.
Evidence that pets have been added to so many families during the pandemic means more than a boost to morale during a lonely, challenging time.

“This is not a one or two year thing, this is not like getting to the end of this epidemic and being done with it. This is a lifetime commitment to take care of this animal,” said Wyant.
The Sioux Area Humane Society says many pet owners have taken this commitment seriously as the number of donated pets has not seen a significant increase in the past two years.
For all the challenges of the past two years, these pets are a beautiful reminder of the good that came at this unique time in history. Now, even as teenagers, they still bring years of happiness to the families they joined during this pandemic.
