How to choose the perfect name for your pet
The most important decision you will make when adopting an animal is choosing a name. Names should reflect who your pet is and their personality.
Consider how other people may refer to them. If you are going to use their name during conversation, for instance. Last, consider how you wish to be referred too. You might be more inclined to call yourself "dog", or "pet".
These are some tips to get you started.
-
Name your dog a name that reflects its breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Or ask someone who knows dogs well to suggest a name based on the breed.

Keep in mind that many pets have multiple names. A cat, for example, might have multiple names depending on where she lives. You might call her "Kitty Cat" home, but she might be "Molly" on the road with her friends. This is especially true if the cat lives outside. Cats often choose to adopt their name according to their surroundings.
