Quick! Adopt That Dog!

While the debate continues over the best way to save the millions of dogs who are euthanized each year in shelters: promote adoption, promote spay/neuter (how about a hefty helping of both?), we've got a new trend brewing, borrowed from humans and their quest to find a mate and to find one quickly: speed dating!
Watch this clip from the Today Show to see some homeless pooches being prepped for their big night out. The affair includes mellow music, wine and cheese...and a whirlwind meet and greet.

While it's probably fun for everyone involved (I'm guessing the dogs got some tasty treats and lots of attention), the "speed" part is no joke. As we all know, finding the right home for an orphaned animal, and finding it quickly, is often a matter of life and death.



So what do you think? Is this kind of event helpful to promote dog adoption, or should humans take a little more time deciding on the right pooch for them?

As always, we appreciate your support and comments!
