Responses from an adopter survey (n = 1,491) determined reasons for pet
selection, type of information received by the adopter, and the context in which
the animal's behavior was observed. Appearance of the animal, social behavior
with adopter, and personality were the top reasons for adoption across species
and age groups. Most adopters stated that information about the animal from a
staff member or volunteer was more important than information on cage cards, and
health and behavior information was particularly important. Adopters found
greater importance in interacting with the animal rather than viewing it in its
kennel. The results of this study can be used by shelters to create better
adoption matches, prioritize shelter resources and staff training, and
potentially increase adoptions. Additionally, some simple training techniques are
suggested to facilitate adopter-friendly behaviors from sheltered dogs and cats.
