Adopting a pet is a rewarding and life-changing experience, but it’s important to approach the process with care and consideration. The meet and greet—a chance for potential adopters to interact with a pet—is a crucial step in ensuring a good match between the animal and their new family. Proper etiquette during this process can make all the difference in creating a positive experience for everyone involved.
Every year, millions of pets enter shelters across the country, hoping for a second chance at life. While some are adopted quickly, others spend months or even years waiting for their forever homes. These long-term shelter pets, often overlooked due to age, breed, or medical conditions, have just as much love to give as any other animal. Their stories of resilience and the families who finally found them serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of adoption.
