WHAT'S
WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS?
So you
want to adopt a pet.
Congratulations!
We can't tell you how much we appreciate you giving one of our
beloved critters a second chance.
Here's
the thing: We're going to ask you a lot of questions. You may feel
like you're getting the third degree. We'll probably ask things
like: Does your house have a fenced yard? Do you have school-age
children? Who's going to be your pet's primary caregiver? Do you
have a veterinarian? Why do fools fall in love?
OK,
we'll probably skip that last one. But we may ask others. We may
even want to come check out your house. (We promise not to mess with
your stuff.)
Don't
take it personally!
It's not
about you. We're sure you're great – after all, you're here!
We take
good care of our animals, and we want to make sure they'll go to good
homes. So when we ask you questions, please don't hold it against
us! You're probably going to give your new pet the best home ever –
but not everyone is as awesome as you are.
Really.
See all the animals here? They didn't appear out of nowhere. Some
of them were neglected. Some of them were abused. But most of them
just didn't quite fit in
their old homes – at least not well enough to ensure they'd stay
there forever.
We
want to make sure Spot and Patches and Tiger and Muffin find homes
that last forever this time. So if we ask you a lot of questions,
try to remember: We're asking because we care, about the pet and
about you. We're trying to make matches that last a lifetime.
So
if we ask you some personal stuff, just think of the furry tail and
the big eyes of the animal you've fallen for, and be patient with us!
It's
totally worth the trouble.
