The Meet Your Match™ Canine-ality™ assessment begins with an initial behavior screening. This helps us determine the individual needs of the dog. We test each dog to help us determine their general canine-ality, including their friendliness, playfulness, energy level, motivation and drive. Each dog is then categorized into a personality color according to their scores. These categories are color-coded green, orange and purple. In all there are nine color-coded categories. Some pooches are laid-back “Couch Potatoes,” others are curious “Busy Bees,” and then there are the action hero “Go-Getter” types.
As an adopter, you also get a color based on your preference and lifestyle. On your visit, you will fill out a survey, it takes less than 5 minutes. This helps us gauge your expectations in a pet and determine what type of pet would be best suited to your home. Or, download the survey below and bring it with you.
Now you’re off—with a color-coded guest pass in hand—to find your new companion. As you pass each furry face, you’ll notice the dogs have color cards on their cages. You don’t have to choose a pooch whose color matches yours—love at first sight does happen. But knowing the color lets you at least prepare for the way your four-legged love will respond when he gets home.
Looking for an emotionally secure, mutually satisfying, low maintenance relationship? I am all you need. Let me sit at your feet, walk by your side, and I’ll be your devoted companion forever. (Socially motivated)
Like the easy life? Then I’m the perfect match for you. I’m a relaxed, laid-back kind of dog who enjoys long naps, watching movies, curling up on laps, and walking very short distances from the couch to the food bowl and back. (Internally motivated)
