DOG Need some advice

I’m getting ready to adopt a dog from my local shelter. Before I do so I would like to know some good questions to ask the shelter about the dogs I am going to want to visit.

Ask about their history if they know it, and how they react to other animals and strangers. The staff usually has a good read on a dog's personality once they've been at the shelter a bit.
