Just spent the weekend looking for a pet dog in the local rescue centres. They've got a lot more professional since we last adopted a cat. Now they take a lot more care categorising the dogs/cats. Each animal has full details and they list such things as the age of children he/she will cope with, other types of pets, locale etc.
For example a typical dog listing might say:
Name
Breed
Age
Sex
Good with children 10+ or Adult-only household
No cats
OK with other dogs but might be dominant
Some behavioural issues, needs an experienced owner.
Then some blurb on the dog's likes/dis-likes and how playful/taciturn they are.
Much better than it used to be but it does mean it'll take a while to find the right one.
One common theme at all the centres is the large number of Staffs dogs they have, seems they ony really appeal to drug-dealers and teenage boys with insecurity issues.
