Animal Welfare Professionals

It is important to know whether the cat and dog you are considering introducing are suited to living with each other. The best indicator is if the dog has successfully lived with cats before and vice versa. If there is no history of successful cohabitation, do a trial before committing to a lifetime of cohabitation. We do not recommend dog and cat introductions at an adoption center. This is a stressful environment and does not accurately tell us how the animals will get along at home.
