Finding the Right Pet: It's All About the Match!
Welcome to Pet Talk, an occasional column about homeless pets and related topics. Today we’re talking about the importance of careful matchups between pet owners and their pets in the world of pet ownership and adoption.
For example, although some shelter dogs such as pitbull- and german shepherd-type dogs can be harder to adopt out than the more popular breeds, such as lab-type dogs and smaller breeds, there truly is a match for just about everyone out there.
For instance, if you’re a highly active person such as a hiker, maybe you’d prefer large athletic dogs over so-called “couch potatoes.” Conversely, if you’re a fairly inactive person such as a house bound senior citizen, maybe a homeless senior pet or a small dog like a pug or terrier—or a cat—would be a better adoption choice.
Whatever your preferences, there’s almost always a wide selection of homeless dogs and cats available for adoption at Flathead County Animal Shelter.
Here are just a few of the pets currently available for adoption at Flathead County Animal Shelter. To schedule a meet-and-greet appointment, call 406-752-1310.
