Feline Insight: Can a Cat Really Help Boost Dog Adoptions? Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco has taken an unconventional approach to boost dog adoptions by hiring a cat.
According to Itay Hod, the organization aims to gauge how receptive their canine adoptees are to living with felines. This unorthodox strategy is actually a long overdue exploration of a common household dynamic.
Many households have both dogs and cats as companions, but introducing a new pet can be a delicate process. The rescue organization is essentially simulating this scenario in a controlled environment.
