Caring for a Rehomed Pup
When you open your heart and home to a rehomed dog, you're embarking on an amazing journey together. This pup has already been through a lot, and it's up to you to help them feel safe, loved, and secure in their new surroundings. Here are a few tips for making the transition as smooth as possible for both of you!
Give Them Space
One of the best things you can do for a rehomed dog is to create their own space in your home. This could be a quiet corner with a bed or crate or even just an area where they can go to feel safe and secure.
Ease Them In
It's also important to ease them into a new routine gradually, rather than overwhelming them with too much change all at once. Start with short walks or play sessions and gradually increase the length and frequency as they get more comfortable.
Dog-Proof Your Home
Last but not least, be sure to dog-proof your home before they arrive. This means things like putting away any toxic cleaning supplies, securing loose wires, and making sure there are no small spaces they could get stuck in. This will keep them from becoming overwhelmed and scared by unfamiliar objects.
Be Patient
We know that you're excited to get into a groove with your new pup. However, many rehomed dogs need a little extra time to adjust before they can begin to trust their new home. Soon enough, they'll become the best pal you've been looking for!
