It refers to the process of acquiring pets from rescue groups instead of buying them from pet shops or breeders. Such services are used for hassle-free and less-time consuming professional transport of pets. As an example, data from the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, a non-profit organization based in the UK, showed that the proportion of 'new' pet owners increased to 38% in 2023, as opposed to 34% in 2021 and 36% in 2022. This upward trend is mainly attributed to a larger ratio of new dog owners in 2023, accounting for 41%, up from 34% in 2021. Therefore, the accelerating rate of animal adoption is fuelling the growth of the pet travel services market.
