 Software Matches Dogs With Humans Lewis stares at the camera with soulful eyes sure to melt hearts. Finding an online match shouldn’t be that difficult for such a catch. But in this case, the heartthrob is a 28-pound, 5-month-old Australian shepherd mix. The Oregon Humane Society (OHS), which developed an innovative online matching service, will make sure Lewis finds a new home based on more than the pup’s good looks. Stealing a page from online dating services, this nonprofit uses a database with extensive search criteria to improve the pet adoption experience. “It’s a pretty unique feature,” says David Lytle, the OHS’s public affairs manager. “We are the only Humane Society I know of that has this find-a-match feature implemented so extensively.” How Dog Matching Works The database listing is updated every 10 minutes. Adopters can surf through listings that offer a photo, vital statistics and information about each dog’s personality. For instance, Lewis “is a social butterfly who really seems to enjoy meeting other people and dogs.” However, Lewis isn’t suited to a home with cats. Successful Adoptions Although fans from around the globe follow the service’s dogs and cats, almost all the adopters come from the Portland area. The questionnaire filled out by potential adopters not only asks about the breed or size of dog you want, but also about the suitable activity level and desired personality. The database searches for matches based on the criteria that would-be adopters provide. If you see a pooch that you’d like, you can place a hold on the pup. If no matches are found, you can then request that the OHS send you an email notification when your doggie match is good to go. Since the service started last August, 3,000 people have signed up for email notification, says Lytle. The service is particularly valuable at OHS, where 10,000 pet adoptions are processed each year. “We’re very happy with it,’’ Lytle says. “We’ve gotten good feedback from the community.” Tips for Finding Your Dream Dog
Simply taking dog breeds into consideration isn’t sufficient, says Vicki Kirby of the Humane Society of Fairfax, Va. “It is amazing to me how many people want a dog they know nothing about,” she says. “They see a picture and fall in love with the look of the dog and have no idea what this type of dog is really like. The most important quality to look for is the dog’s personality and disposition. Even if they know the traits of the breed, a particular dog may not have those traits.” The Humane Society of Fairfax uses a questionnaire that can be downloaded online then faxed or emailed. The society also sends email notifications when a potential match arrives. Of course, it’s important to meet your potential new pup in person, say both Lytle and Kirby. And it’s never a good idea to fall for a pretty face. “We always tell people you need to know yourself, know what your own lifestyle is,” Lytle says. “You might be seduced by a young border collie that is the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, but if you have knee or hip problems, and your idea of exercise is just one walk around the block, you and the border collie are not going to be happy.” Instead, devote time and care when selecting a dog, and that will vastly improve your chances of living happily ever after.

Posted by Juan on 2009-06-24 at 15:08:43 I need a dog for companion I am a single 56YO retired man with permanent disability.. I worked in the Oilfield for 20 years before going back to school and becoming a RN. Oops, that was harder on my back than working with iron. I can still get around OK but my back is wore out. I have 8 grandkids but I need a fulltime friend. My last dog was a large Airdale named Gino. He was a rescue dog that was pretty mature when I got him. I don't think it would be possible to love an animal any more than I loved him. I have a pickup and riding in the front or back would be up to them. They would be a house dog but we would go to the dog park several times(3 or 4) a week. I get to pick the TV channel and they would have to be well mannered around my grandkids. Sleeping arrangements are negotionable. I would consider any breed. I would like a smart dog but they probaly don't need to be a lot smarter than me.

Posted by beba on 2009-09-04 at 11:19:19 yorkies I need a cute and cuddly small and trainable dog. What kind of dog is this? Yorkies are great family dogs. They love to play and they're great with children. The bad news is that they shed. Some types of yorkies shed almost 50% of their natural hair. If you are looking for a small and cute dog to snuggle with, you've found you're match. You can either order yorkies online or go to pet stores looking for the little rascals. Never give up on those cute little dogs if you really want them. But the problem is I don't have enough money to buy one of these cuddly monsters. And I lost my wallet. Somebody out in this world has dollars that I won from a kids convention when I was 12 years old. My life is just ruined. So if you find a Yorkshire Terrier under $100 please let me know!

My husband was not happy about my new dog purchase, as we had lost our choc. lab, of 10 yrs., to cancer, a few months before we got, this little girl,...but, he as come to love this dog, as much as I do. wonderful breed, very friendly, non-aggressive, very little shedding, but, needs to spend a lot of time, with family members----we take her just about everywhere we go, I think it is the best choice we've ever made, in regard to Breed. Ideal choice, but, more so probably, for older people who have more day hours free to spend with their dog, than those who are still in the work force.

I have a big but kinda messy house, a big backyard and I live near a large field and 2 large parks, also with large running areas. I have 3 adult cats. I don't the dog to be mean to my cats. And I also have a rabbit, who is caged, but i wouldn't want the dog to jump at it or knock down the cage. I think that a Golden retriever would be perfect...Do you think I'm right?
