Want to increase your adoption numbers while reducing returns? Improve customer service while increasing the fun quotient in the adoption process? The Meet Your Match Canine-ality™ and Puppy-ality Adoption Program is an innovative method for identifying compatible matches between dogs and potential adopters by combining a science-based animal assessment, adopter-friendly survey and a bright color-coded card system. This program was developed by Emily Weiss, Ph.D., CAAB, ASPCA Sr. Director of Shelter Behavior Programs, and the Kansas Humane Society.

The Guide contains complete instructions on how to implement the program as well as behavior modification protocols and corresponding adopter handouts for those dogs who during the Canine-ality Assessment were identified as needing or likely benefiting from behavior modification. The Guide includes reproducible templates of the Canine-ality Assessment, Puppy-ality Assessment, Behavior Log, Food Guarding Program adopter handout, Tips for Decreasing Separation Anxiety adopter handout, Adopter Survey, Cage Cards and Guest Passes.

A companion to the guide, the instructional video demonstrates all aspects of the program in a fun and informative manner. Learn how to score puppy-ality and canine-ality as well as how to work through an adoption.
