A potential adopter expresses interest in a high-energy, young dog but mentions they live in a small apartment and work long hours. What is the most effective approach for an adoption counselor using a conversation-based model?
-
A
Immediately deny the application based on their living situation and work schedule.
-
B
Engage in a conversation about their lifestyle, daily routine, and their plans for meeting the dog's exercise and enrichment needs.
-
C
Suggest they adopt a cat instead, as dogs are not suitable for apartments.
-
D
Approve the adoption immediately to get the dog out of the shelter environment.
