  • 1.  Help us learn more about DOG ADOPTABILITY!

    Posted 06-27-2022 11:10 AM

    Hello friends!

    My name is Zoë D'Agostino; Dr. Jennie Willis and I are researching dog-adopter preferences based on canine behavior and medical needs to help shelters better understand adopters as well as help more dogs get adopted!  It would mean the world to me if you would be willing to help us reach our research goals by taking our very short, 2-minutes survey: https://forms.gle/TwdmduLHFajNbDJh9

    Just TWO minutes of time to help all the dogs!!

    This survey will shed light on the preferences and tolerability of prospective dog adopters, organized by geographic region, which has become particularly relevant and of interest in many sheltering communities.  We believe that this data could be really beneficial to the dog adoption programs nationwide!

    I am but a single individual though, and for the results of this study to bear the most impact, we will need a large sample size! Over five hundred people have already taken this survey, but we hope for hundreds (if not thousands) more if possible!

    With your help, I believe we can reach new heights in our sample size goal for this study.  Please consider not only taking this survey, but also sharing it with all that you can! The only criterium required to take our survey is that you must be over the age of 18 years old!
    I will gladly share my results with you/ your organization(s) at the conclusion of this study too if you're interested!


    I appreciate all of you and all that you do for our canine friends!


    All the best,

    Hi Zoe,
    I just took your survey and wanted to commend you on the questions asked. They really got me thinking.  I'd like to see the results when you are finished. I'm very curious to see how people responded.
