MEET YOUR MATCH

Come to our North shore shelter and Meet Your Match today!

Do you need a partner for long walks? A companion to play Frisbee in the park?
A gentle friend for your children?

How Does it Work? It's simple and fun!

Adopters fill out a personality survey and receive a color coded Meet Your Match Guest Pass.
Dogs for adoption are assigned a color coded description kennel card based on the results
of their Canine-Ality Assessment.
Match the color of your guest pass to the color of the dog's kennel card. An adoption counselor
will be happy to introduce you to your new pet and answer any questions.

PURPLE: Couch Potato, Constant Companion, or Teacher's Pet.
ORANGE: Busy Bee, WallFlower, or Goofball
GREEN: Free Spirit, Go-Getter, or Life of the Party

You can print out our survey and have it filled out before you visit our shelter

Couch Potato: 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 short distances from the couch to the
food bowl and back

Constant Companion: 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.

Teacher’s Pet: I’ve got it all – smart, fuzzy, four legs, love to learn and live to please. Go ahead, teach me anything. Sit, stay, balance your checkbook, I can do it all. Keep me entertained and I'll be yours forever.
Wallflower: Shy, charming canine searching for patient owner with relaxed lifestyle. Looking for gentle
guidance to help me come out of my shell. Treat me sweet and kind and I'll blossom.

Goofball: I'm a fun loving, happy all the time, glass is half full kind of dog looking for someone who loves
to laugh and play around. Must have great sense of humor and a bunch of tennis balls.

Busy Bee: I'm a naturally playful, curious and trusting canine. Take me for a big walk every day and give me something to do. After my job is done, I'll curl up in front of the fire with you in the evenings. I'm a dog
on a mission to please you and myself.
Free Spirit: Intelligent, independent, confident, and clever, I prefer making my own decisions, but will listen to
you if you make a good case. We're partners in this adventure – treat me as one and we'll both live happily ever after.

Life of the Party: I think everything is fun, interesting and needs to be played with, especially you! Anything
you do, I'll want to do it, too. With my own brand of surprises, life with me will keep you constantly on your toes
and the fun is guaranteed.

Go Getter: Want to get more exercise? Action is my middle name. My “Let’s Go” lifestyle will keep you
motivated to get outside and move. I’ve got tons of energy and I love to work 24 hours a day. I’ll run for miles,
chase balls for hours and will still want to play around at the end of the day.

The program, produced by the ASPCA and sponsored by IAMS,  is designed to help to ensure positive customer relations during the adoption process by creating a bridge between the animal handling staff and the adoption staff, adoption staff and the adopter through allowing for an understanding
of terms and consistency in evaluations.
