To the world you may be just one person; but, to one dog you may be the world.

I am no expert, but I have gone on a home visit for the Illinois Doberman Rescue. They sent me a list of Do's and Don'ts that I doubt they will mind if I share with you. I guess if I were to add anything in my own words it would be to put your potential adopters at ease. Don't make it seem like the Grand Inquisition. They may well not really understand why there are so many questions and concerns. You are advocating for the dog, however, not the adopter. Some folks just don't quite grasp that concept.

Good luck and be calm, friendly but do not get distracted from what you are there to do - be observant and do take notes about their answers to your questions which will help you when you review and report about your home visit
