Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm thinking about adopting a pet. What are some popular pets people adopt from shelters?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Many people adopt dogs, cats, and sometimes even rabbits or guinea pigs from shelters. These animals make great companions and are often already litter-trained or housebroken.<|im_end|>

That's great. What's the adoption process like for dogs?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The adoption process for dogs usually involves filling out an application, meeting with an adoption counselor, and spending time with the dog to see if it's a good fit. Some shelters may also require a home visit or veterinary reference.<|im_end|>

Okay, I think I'll look into that. Do you have any advice for preparing my home for a new pet?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, make sure to pet-proof your home by removing hazardous items, securing toxic substances, and setting up a comfortable space for your new pet to rest and play.<|im_end|>
