Animal Shelter Sorts Dogs Into Harry Potter “Pawgwarts” Houses To Encourage Adoption Based On Personality Rather Than Breed
At the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, dogs are no longer grouped by breed. Instead, the staff analyze the personalities of their adoptable dogs and then sort them into one of the four Harry Potter Houses.
Describing their “Pawgwarts” sorting process, the shelter states: “For example, a dog who takes to learning obedience cues or quickly figures out a puzzle has the knowledge of a Ravenclaw. A small dog who has the determination to climb the agility A-Frame possesses the ambition of Slytherin house. Our affectionate happy-to-know-you dogs embody the friendliness of a Hufflepuff, and a dog who embraces change and new things has the bravery known to all Gryffindors.”
Hagrid would be proud!

I was going to say putting someone in Slytherin might prevent their adoption... but I would adopt a Slytherin cat... especially a white one. Name it Malfoy. Ask him on a regular basis if "his father would hear about this"?

Isn't it cute? I would feel like I need to adopt a Gryffindor since that's my house, but if there was a cute Ravenclaw or something, I guess I could break from my house...
