Question

Why do shelters and rescues try to match an animal’s personality with the family that they will go home with?

Answer 1

To make the animal less stressed

Step-by-step explanation:

(I don't know the answer for sure but this is my reasoning)

When an animal is adapting to its new environment, the adjustment period can stress them out (this is sometimes called the 3-3-3 rule or honeymoon period.)

But If the families personality matches, it can decrease the stress of an animal

Answer 2

Answer: They want to help the animals find a home, most animals that they find was either a stray Dog or Cat, or got lost. so they clean them and take good care of them then they will find them a home. Animals arrive at crowded shelters daily, i used to go by one to see all the new Dogs and Cats they save either as strays or owner surrenders. Most sit patiently in their kennels, day after day, wondering what they did wrong to end up there.
