I'm thinking about adopting a pet. What are the steps to adopt one?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The adoption process usually starts with visiting a shelter or rescue organization, meeting with an adoption counselor, filling out an application, and then waiting for approval. Once approved, you can take your new pet home.<|im_end|>

That sounds straightforward. Are there any specific requirements I need to meet to adopt a pet?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, typically you'll need to be at least 18 years old, have a stable income, and provide proof of residence. Some shelters may also require a home visit or a meet-and-greet with other pets in the household.<|im_end|>

Okay, that makes sense. What's the average time it takes to adopt a pet?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The adoption process can vary, but it usually takes anywhere from a few hours to a few days. It depends on the shelter's policies and the number of pets available for adoption.<|im_end|>
