By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco has implemented a unique program to identify cat-friendly dogs, utilizing a cat named Mustache as a tester. This initiative addresses a common concern for adopters, as approximately 40% of potential adopters have cats. The program involves supervised introductions between dogs and Mustache, with staff observing canine body language to determine compatibility. This has significantly reduced wait times for cat-friendly dogs, leading to faster adoptions and saving more lives. AI
