The two Golden Retrievers are looking outside the front door and watching the rain splashing on the stone driveway.

How to Help Your Rescue Pet Feel Comfortable
The commenters said the two Golden Retrievers were likely happy to watch the rain and take it all in while staying dry. The thought of that makes me a little sad, but I'm also happy because they've found a home where they're not warm, safe, and comfortable.
If you're planning to adopt a rescue dog, there are a few things you can do to help them feel as comfortable as possible. According to NutriSource, a "3-3-3" rule helps new dog parents with a general guideline on when and how their new rescue dog can start to feel more at home.
"The 3-3-3 rule refers to the amount of time it can take for rescue dogs to feel comfortable in a new home and breaks it down into milestones: three days, three weeks, and three months," the experts explain.
NutriSource explains that the first three days in a rescue dog's new home are a transition period that can be overwhelming for the dog. "Some dogs will avoid food and water, and testing boundaries is common as they work to understand what is expected of them in their new life."
It takes approximately three weeks for a rescue dog to start to feel more settled and at home. "This is also when dogs will start getting into a routine and can be the time when behavior issues become more pronounced," NutriSource shares.
Then, after approximately three months in a new home, when there's been time to bond and establish a routine, dogs start to feel like they're at home now. "By the three-month mark, most dogs are comfortable in their new homes because they have established trust with their adopted family. This is when dogs often become fully “'settled in”' to their new life."
