Don't bother if you have young kids. I thought their job was to find homes for unwanted animals but they told us we were unsuitable for adoption due to our four children. I guess only single people should have pets. My youngest was very gentle and respectful to the dog but it didn't matter. This leaves us only the option to buy a dog. I would have much rather reduced the pet population and adopted. Frustrated with the whole pet adoption process. The animal they told me they couldn't accept an application on yet was adopted later that day.
