about Meet Your Match®

You're hoping to find "the dog you always wanted" but worry about selecting a dog who might not be a good match. The Meet Your Match® Canine-ality™ Assessment takes the mystery out of the selection process by reliably predicting how a dog is likely to behave when they arrive in your home.

The Dog Adopter Survey identifies your preferences that correspond to characteristics measured in the Canine-ality Assessment. At the end of the survey, you’ll be matched with the color that best suits your needs! Since results are not automatically sent to shelters, you can print out your results and bring it with you when you visit your nearest shelter.

• Green adopters are most successful with dogs who like to be physically and mentally engaged.
• Orange adopters are a good fit with middle-of-the-road dogs who are responsive and like regular activity and interaction.
• Purple adopters are comfortable with dogs who have a laid back attitude and enjoy an easygoing lifestyle.

The Meet Your Match Feline-ality™ Adoption Program is a research-based program that pairs distinct Feline-alities with adopters whose personality and lifestyle fit them best. Good matches help make strong bonds, and bonding is the key to successful adoptions.

The Feline-ality Adoption Program is built around the Feline-ality Assessment that reliably predicts how an individual cat is likely to behave when the cat arrives at their new home. In addition, the Cat Adopter Survey identifies the aspects of your preferences, expectations, and lifestyle that correlate with specific Feline-alities. Since results are not automatically sent to shelters, you can print out your results and bring it with you when you visit your nearest shelter. Then, by working with an adoption councilor, you can meet cats with Feline-alities known to be a good fit for your household.

Meeting a cat through the Feline-ality Adoption Program allows you to bring home a new companion already knowing something about them. 

• Green adopters are most successful with cats who adapt quickly to new situations.
• Orange adopters are a good fit with easy-going cats.
• Purple adopters are comfortable with cats who need time and encouragement to adjust to new surroundings.
