It's the "eHarmony" of pet adoptions.

This unique adoption matching program was created by the ASPCA® and is used by HSVB&IRC with permission. Meet Your Match®, Canine-alities®, and Feline-alities® are registered trademarks of the ASPCA.

When you come to adopt...
You can get started on the adoption process by completing a MYM Adopter Survey form and bringing it with you when you come to visit our shelter. Click to download a «dog survey» or a «cat survey».

We "go the extra mile" to help assure that, when you adopt a pet from HSVB&IRC, you'll be making an informed choice. By matching an animal's personality to yours and your lifestyle, we're more likely to assure that you make the right adoption decision the first time.

We are using a program developed by the ASPCA. It is called "Meet Your Match." Currently, we evaluate dogs and cats before we make them available for adoption. The results are impressive. But, don't just take our word for it. Read what satisfied adopters have said:

"This was the first time I have ever gotten a cat that matched my personality."
"I wanted a playful and curious dog who will take long walks with me. He's perfect."
"The program helped me decide who was right for me. [My cat] behaves exactly as they said she would."
"I liked having a process to match our personalities. Got just the dog we were wanting the first time."
"Harley suits our lifestyle perfectly. You helped us avoid a lot of adjusting."
