How photographs help get pets adopted

Researchers examined the photographs in the PetRescue online profiles of the three most common breeds Staffordshire bull terriers (n = 3988), Labrador retrievers (n = 2246), and Jack Russell terriers (n = 2088), to identify the inferred preferences of potential adopters.

The longest stays in the shelter were associated with dogs with erect ears and those photographed in a natural environment, i.e., 18.32 days and 19.57 days, respectively. 

Dogs photographed in a kennel and with mouths closed had the shortest length of stay, i.e., 11.54 d and 14.44 d, respectively.
