Comparison of successfully adopted dogs and dogs returned to the shelter
Original language description
Successful rehoming of the shelter dogs is a difficult process and it is unfortunately common that some of them are returned. Moreover, some of them are given back to the shelter several times. There are only a few studies analysing adoptions resulting in the rejection of the newly adopted dog. Information on dogs in three shelters located in Moravia were collected and each dog was individually assessed in terms of its health, behaviour and general appearance. Out of 146 observed dogs, 72 dogs were adopted. Among these, 23 dogs were returned to the shelter. Comparison of a group of successfully adopted dogs and dogs returned to the shelter revealed that dogs successfully adopted were younger (P < 0.05) and in better condition (P < 0.01) prior to their adoption than dogs rejected by their adopters. No difference (P > 0.05) was found in sex ratio and the size of dogs between the two groups.
