How COVID19 Has Impacted Families With Dogs And Cats

Top Adorable Pet Photos Of The Decade

Posted

By Dorothy York, President and CEO of North American Precis Syndicate (NAPS)

Dog and Cat Adoptions have soared during the COVID19 pandemic, as millions adapt to working at home, social distancing and isolation.  Many seek out pets to keep themselves company. Some shelters had to shut down, due to a high demand for pets, which were in short supply.

The joys of pet ownership have raised new questions about how to care for dogs and cats during the crisis, and beyond.  Thousands of editors have been sharing stories about helpful information and answers to questions about pet care.  If you have a way to help pets and their families, tell your story.

To help our clients choose formats that are getting the best results, North American Precis Syndicate ranks the top feature news stories of the year by the highest number of placements in media outlets nationwide.  We have compiled the results to show the top feature news stories of the decade, those that have performed brilliantly, way above and beyond what is typically expected.

The most successful stories included attractive color photos or infographics, helpful advice from experts, celebrity spokespeople, the latest statistics, results from surveys, trends, time-saving tips, money saving ideas and other helpful information.  The stories targeted people across various demographic groups and related to safe, enjoyable and prosperous experiences, protecting the health, and assets, of the readers, their friends and family members.

We are passionate about working on the kinds of stories that help millions of people nationwide with the news that is potentially life saving or can improve the quality of their lives.
