Mr. Geppetto is a charmer who’s beloved for his playful personality and fondness for long, snuggling naps. But despite his charm, he still was not getting picked by potential adopters visiting the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Los Angeles. When COVID-19 shelter-in-place procedures were announced, Mr. Geppetto, along with many other animals, was moved to foster care. That’s when virtual adoptions through video conference calls were implemented to introduce animals to prospective families.
