The myth – an adopting family does not know what they're getting when they rescue a homeless dog or cat. Every now and then I'll hear or read comments stating that this is the case. Actually, however, by talking with the people running or volunteering with the Pets adoption agency or shelter, you can learn about your potential pet's habits and character. As far as young puppies go, no one can guarantee what the cat or dog's personality will become. We have some really great salvage groups in Southeastern North Carolina, and the volunteers who work with homeless dogs and cats can help people match their lifestyles with the right pet.
Maybe you want a more lively dog that might enjoy jogging or long walks in the neighborhood. Or maybe your choice is for a more laid back companion (or companions) who would be better suited for snuggling on the sofa to watch movies or reruns of "Timmy and Lassie" or "Wild Kingdom." The volunteers can inform adopters about how the pets animal might get along with other furry members of the family or how they might relate to small children. For pets in general, there are a number of factors that could have an impact on temperament, including heredity and environmental experiences.
