Helping a Rescue Dog Adjust To A New Home
Though exciting, adopting a new pup can feel overwhelming if you're not prepared. Luckily, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) says there are things you can do to make your new dog feel comfortable in your home. Make sure you have all the supplies in advance. Things like a crate, bowls, a collar, toys, a bed and anything else that might make your new pup feel comfortable should be ready and waiting.
If you can, plan to bring them home on a weekend or when you have a couple of days off to spend getting to know each other and establishing a routine. Consistency is key to helping them settle in which in turn, will allow them to open up and show their real personality.
It can take a new dog months to get used to their new environment so be patient and you'll be best friends in no time. As for Poof, he's already there and we're so happy to see it!
