You've heard of eHarmony - people who are serious about finding a lasting relationship complete a questionnaire and their answers are used to identify potential "matches". 

The Friends are pleased to participate in the ASPCA's innovative method for matching cats and dogs with you, as a potential adopter. The program's Adopter Surverys and Canine-ality™, Puppy-ality™, and Feline-ality™ Assessments and fun color-coding system fit together like the pieces of a puzzle, creating picture-perfect adoptions for shelter animals and their new owners.

Meet Your Match is  fun and it’s got serious science behind it. Developed by the ASPCA and Emily Weiss, Ph.D., C.A.A.B., the program uses proven behavior assessments to predict how a shelter dog, puppy, or cat may behave in his or her new home for the first several weeks. The assessments are used with innovative adopter surveys to match adopters with appropriate animals.

It’s also highly effective. Shelters using the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match™ report reduced return rates, better customer service and increased adoptions; and the use of this science-based methodology also helps them to better highlight the animals they have available for adoption.

Our adoptable dogs and cats have completed their surveys and been appropriately color-coded (purple, orange, or green) and are waiting for you to complete yours and find out what color you are:

• Learn more about Feline-ality™ (cats and kittens) and complete your Cat Adopter Survey.

• Learn more about Canine-ality™ (dogs 6 months and older) and complete your Dog Adopter Survey.

• Learn more about Puppy-ality™ and complete your Dog Adopter Survey.
