Below are two examples of good adoption listings. Please note they are concise and follow the guidance above. Please do not write the listing in the first person. (My name is Rover and I am a German Shephard.) Write in the third person. (Rover is a German Shepherd. He is deaf.) Unless you are a veterinarian do not attempt to descibe a disease or medical condition. We will provide a link to a credible webpage for the disease or medical condition. Good pictures make or break an adoption listing. Dark color pets should be on a light background. Light color color pets should be on a dark background.

Felix is a very special kitty. He is a
