Owners often adopt or buy pets “based on their beauty or breed”, and sometimes due to a trend, without paying attention to one’s character, nor the character of the animal. All people are different, have unique DNA, and have unique qualities and characters… and guess what? All cats and dogs have unique personalities, too. Whether you are adopting a dog or a cat for the first time or you have taken care of pets in your home before, it is important to consider your wishes and possibilities, as well as having at least a rough idea of the character of the animal you want to give your home to.
Challenges in finding the best pet for you
1. The photo or video does not reflect the character
It is difficult to choose the best pet for you and your family based only on photos and a brief description. To know if they are right for you, you need to meet them in person. But that’s not nearly enough for a major decision such as adopting a living being whose life and well-being depends solely on Your!
2. Uncertainty when choosing
Potential adopters are often in a dilemma as to how a new dog or cat will fit into their home daily duties. However, many animal shelters and animal welfare associations in spite of their best of intentions, they can’t always “guess” which pet would best suit the wishes of the adopter.
3. Adoptions “in haste”
Some associations or individuals who rescued a dog or a cat from the street often do not have enough information about the animals they adopt. Due to insufficient space or resources, they have no opportunity to properly care for the animal before adoption. Hence, they adopt a pet without a health record, unvaccinated or not socialized.
4. “Errors in the adoption process”
As a consequence of poor evaluation of an adopter or a pet, situations occur where a pet, which was previously “happily” adopted, is found on the street and homeless again. And, then a problem escalates – both for those unfortunate animals, and for people and organizations that made the maximum effort to get them off the streets and find them a home.
The personality of the adopter
During our work, we conducted dozens of interviews with potential adopters. Based on conclusions, we formed two main categories of adopters:
- People who have never had a pet before and want to adopt a cat or dog for the first time;
- People who have had a dog or a cat during their life and want to adopt another pet.
Behaviors and beliefs, frustrations and fears, as well as goals and needs, differ significantly between these types of people. Therefore, we collect different type of information based on the adopter’s personality and habits and use it for our pet – owner compatiblity test.
Our algorithm takes into account the needs of the adopter and the character of the pet
The arrival of a new pet in your family is an important event! Please do not choose a cat or a dog based solely on appearance. A pet’s personality, age and ability to fit into your lifestyle are the most important factors in choosing a friend to share the next 15 to 20 years of your life with. Rely on Pet Mondo and use our evaluation system to decide which pet is best for you. We invest all our knowledge, time and money into the pets that we rescue and it is extremely important for us that they always find the best possible home. Therefore, we use the most modern methods to make sure that the dog or cat that we rescued get the home they deserve, and their new owners get the pets they wanted. We are here to help you choose! Our unique algorithm analyzes the personality of the foster parent, compares it with the character dog or cat looking for a home and determines whether the animal you have chosen is the best pet for you and your family.
How does the “Pet Mondo” pet recommendation algorithm work?
All Pet Mondo pets have their own record cards in which we record not only information about vaccines, but also more detailed information about the character of the dogs and cats we care for. Our assessment also includes the assessment of behavior or aggressiveness and provides information about individual needs every cat or dog. It consists of five tests that we organize to determine their general personality, including friendliness, playfulness, energy level and motivation. The data from the records are “cross-checked” with the data and information from the questionnaire that he fills out potential adopter, as well as with the information we receive during the conversation with you. In our analysis there are no right or wrong answers – the bottom line is that the characteristics of the pet being adopted “match” with your needs and expectations – so that we get a promising potential for permanent adoption.
Our pet recommendation algorithm is personalized and absolutely adapted to the pet and you. Yet, as the name itself says – it is a recommendation, our recommendation. Of course, it’s possible to wish that you did get to know and even adopt a pet that is not listed on the list of recommendations. But we have established through practice that our algorithm is rarely wrong. Satisfaction of adopters with whom we are in contact even after adoption and the happiness of our adopted animals is a confirmation of the reliability of our unique method – algorithm as adoption assistance. Our unique compatibility check system helps you overcome challenges and choose the pet that is the best choice for your home.
