Who’s your Mutt-i-gree® Match?

We believe every animal is worthy of love and companionship… especially the helpless dogs and cats that end up on our campus. Mutt-i-grees® are shelter pets – the beautiful and healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens who are waiting to find loving homes. Their personality makes them special – just like us!

Want to find your Mutt-i-gree® match? Take our quick personality quiz to find out, and test your no-kill knowledge while you’re at it!

Question 1/5:

Describe yourself using one adjective:

You Chose:

Calm! Silly! Sassy! Caring!

Did you know?

Despite the belief that rescue pets have behavioral issues, this is just a common misconception! Every rescue pet has their own history, personality, and preferences – just like us humans!

Question 2/5:

Choose your favorite hobby

You Chose:

Exploring nature! Hanging with friends! Diving into a good book! Catching up on your favorite shows!

Did you know?

Whether you’re an indoorsy person or an outdoorsy one, there’s a rescue pet for you. Studies have shown that rescue dogs love their human companions more than purchased pets! According to the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, rescue dogs are “more socially driven to gaze and interact with humans.”

Question 3/5:

What’s your favorite season?

You Chose:

Spring Summer Fall Winter

Did you know?

Any season is a great time to adopt a rescue pet, but you may want to consider local weather and your schedule before bringing Fido home. While leash training and outdoor adventures are easier in warmer months, a hectic vacation schedule is a lot of stress for your new cat or dog. And while there’s nothing better than snuggling a furry friend on a cold, snowy day, daily walks and potty training are tough in inclement weather.

Question 4/5:

Where would you like to live?

You Chose:

A cozy farmhouse on lots of land! A remote cabin in the woods! An apartment in a bustling city! A quiet beachfront property!

Did you know?

Approximately 4.3 million cats and dogs entered shelters across the United States in 2020. Wherever your dream home is, we guarantee there’s an animal shelter nearby with sweet helpless animals in need of a caring and loving home.

Question 5/5:

Do you already have a pet?

You Chose:

Yes, I have one pet at home! Yes! I have multiple pets at home! No, but I’m considering getting a pet soon! No. I want a pet, but this isn’t the right time!

Did you know?

When you rescue a helpless cat or dog from a shelter, you’re not just giving them a new home… you’re giving them the love they deserve and desperately need – and getting unconditional love in return. Are you ready to meet your Mutt-i-gree® match?
