Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm thinking about adopting a pet. What are some popular pets people adopt from shelters?
user
Many people adopt dogs, cats, and sometimes even rabbits or guinea pigs from shelters. These animals make great companions and are often already litter-trained or housebroken.
assistant
That's great. What's the adoption process like for dogs?
user
The adoption process for dogs usually involves filling out an application, meeting with an adoption counselor, and spending time with the dog to see if it's a good fit. Some shelters may also require a home visit or veterinary reference.
assistant
Okay, I think I'll look into that. Do you have any advice for preparing my home for a new pet?
user
Yes, make sure to pet-proof your home by removing hazardous items, securing toxic substances, and setting up a comfortable space for your new pet to rest and play.
