You’re a person. You have a “person-ality”. Dogs are canines so they must have a “canine-ality”. The Meet Your Match™ Canine-ality Adoption Program helps you find the dog that’s right for you! All of our dog guests are tested to determine his or her canine-ality including friendliness, playfulness, energy level, motivation and drive.
Each dog is then placed into one of three color-coded categories: Easy Maintenance (purple), Average Maintenance (orange), and high maintenance (green). Within each color category are three descriptions to help you better understand the dog’s canine-ality.
Here’s a look at the color-coded categories of Meet Your Match™:

Couch Potato (Easy Maintenance)
Like the easy life? 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 very short distances from the couch to the food bowl and back!
Constant Companion (Easy Maintenance)
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 (Easy Maintenance)
I’ve got the whole package - 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 will be yours forever.
Wallflower (Average Maintenance)
Shy yet 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 right before your eyes!
Goofball (Average Maintenance)
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. Must have a great sense of humor and a bunch of tennis balls.
Busy Bee (Average Maintenance)
I’m a naturally playful, curious and trusting canine. Take me for a big walk every day; give me something to do. After my job’s done, I’ll curl up with you in the evenings. I’m a dog on a mission to please you and myself.
Life of the Party (High Maintenance)
I think everything is fun, interesting and meant for play, especially you. Anything you do, I’ll want to do too. With my own brand of surprise, life with me will keep you on your toes, and the fun is guaranteed.
Go-Getter (High Maintenance)
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 just like the sun, I’m burning and working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I’ll run for miles with you, chase a ball for a few hours, and still want to play at the end of the day. Type A personalities - apply here!
Free Spirit (High Maintenance)
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 like one and we’ll both live happily ever after.
