Every time individuals undertake a brand new pet, they typically simply meet the animals and hang around for 5-10 minutes earlier than making this actually massive determination. However the volunteers and foster mother and father know these animals very well and so they have opinions. You need to ask them which animal they’d undertake if they may and why. It’s heartbreaking to observe the sweetest canine and cats get handed up as a result of they don’t give one of the best first impressions.

Edit to make clear: I particularly advocate speaking to volunteers. Whereas there are a number of nice employees, they typically have a number of different work and don’t spend a lot time with the animals. The volunteers don’t have any motive to mislead you and so they all have their favorites. They’re there just because they love animals, not for a pay verify.
