When adopting an animal from a local humane group such as the Humane Society, there's certain policies one would have to follow. "Meet and greet" is a part of some policies says a Humane Society volunteer. This policy goes by taking a pet cat to the Humane Society to meet a new pet dog. This is at a "neutral territory" for both of the pets, says a Humane Society volunteer, and neither will be territorial.Sometimes there might not be a neutral territory for the animals to get introduced to each other and in this case they would have to meet at an existing pet's home. When this is the case, putting the two lives into one household might be difficult.
