It's a match
The ASPCA has come up with a unique way to determine which pet people should adopt.
It's a color-coded system where pets are given a personality and trait "color" that you can then match to your own personality and preferences -- using criteria based on lifestyle, levels of activity and other traits that will make for a good match.
Dogs, for example, come in "Couch Potato," "Constant Companion," "Teacher's Pet," "Wallflower," "Busy Bee," "Goofball" and "Life of the Party."
Cats come in colors labeled "Private Investigator," "Secret Admirer," "Love Bug, "The Executive," "Sidekick, "Personal Assistant" and "MVP."
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
