The current study tracked the development of the dog/owner relationship of 93 individuals for the first month after adopting a dog from one of two local municipal animal shelters in an attempt to find personality/temperament trait matches. Participants completed a series of surveys that included two personality inventories, an ideal rating scale for dog behavior, measures of the level of attachment and commitment to the new dog, a rating of the new dog's behavior in the home, and a series of questions about experience with owning and caring for pets. A total of 1,396 dogs between two shelters were given a temperament assessment prior to selection for euthanasia or adoption. Euthanized dogs had higher scores for aggression and fearfulness than adopted dogs, but lower scores for excitability, playfulness, and separation anxiety. A logistic regression indicated that dogs that were housed at the Arlington shelter, were pure breed dogs, were smaller in size, had prick ears, were lighter in color, were female, and were more playful in the tug of war test were more likely to be adopted. Of the dogs whose owners participated in the study, there was no significant difference in temperament for the animals that were kept, considered for return, or returned. There was a positive correlation between gregariousness in people and aggression in dogs, a negative correlation for trust in people and separation anxiety in dogs, and a negative correlation for warmth and dog-directed aggression. A discriminant analysis was unable to predict successful placements from human personality and dog temperament. Although the results did not reveal any significant effects of human personality matching with dog temperament, there was a significant positive correlation between both openness and conscientiousness with level of attachment to the new pet, and a significant correlation between attachment and keeping the dog. Additionally, there was a significant correlation between conscientiousness and attachment which implies that the trait of conscientiousness may be important in maintaining the pet/owner bond.
