Live Chat Today: How To Meet Your Canine Match

My husband and I both work, and we have two active toddlers. What kind of dog would be a good fit in my home?

When you’re looking to adopt a dog, it’s so easy to fall in love with the big-eyed beauty who rolls over the minute you come near his kennel. It’s tempting to take him home that instant, but let’s face it—you can’t really predict if he’ll fit your lifestyle without learning more about him. That’s why Dr. Emily Weiss, ASPCA Senior Director, Research and Development, is here to explain how you can select a great pet using the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match™ program, a fun color-coded system for pairing pooches and people. Please join Dr. Weiss for a live discussion this Friday, October 17, on the ASPCA Online Community. Dr. Weiss will be on hand from noon to 2:00 P.M. EST to help you find the right dog for your home.

* If you work at a shelter or are interested in starting one, join our chat and ask Dr. Weiss about our Meet Your Match program, and learn tools you can use to match pets with adopters!
