When you meet someone who is looking to adopt, it's important to ask them questions about their lifestyle and what they're looking for in a pet. It's also essential for you to be familiar with all of the animals in your shelter so that you know which ones might be a good fit. Talk about how you will get to know the animals and the person who is adopting them.
