It affects the cost of food, the cost of services," said Katy Hansen, Director of Marketing at NYC ACC.
"There were stories going around that it was pandemic pets, people adopted during the pandemic, and they went back to work and now they're returning their animals, but that's actually not what's happening," she said.
