How do you adopt a dog and know it's good with kids and other dogs?

Bring the kids with you & spend some time with the dog before you bring the dog home.

Also, speak to the staff about each animals' temperament. They get to know the animals very well.

You can spend all the time you want there, have your child interact with all the dogs. You will know which dog when you see the interactions.

Always spend time with an animal before deciding to bring it home.
