Caring for a new dog

10 Things your new dog wants you to know…

Caring for a dog. Lana – Rescued Dog

Thank you for adopting me. Since I am new, I’ll need to know the boundaries.
Please introduce to me everyone.
I need an I.D. Tag on a collar with all of my information. A microchip will help get me back to you if I get lost. (If your new dog is a puppy, wait to chip until they are old enough.. .usually when they are spayed or neutered.)
I need all of my shots updated. Find a veterinarian you trust and I’ll be happy and healthy.
Train me right away, and train me the right way.
I like your food, but dog food only, please. And please introduce me slowly to any new food.
I need fresh water every day, preferably in a bowl.
Show me where to “go”. The right place and the time will keep us both happy.
And I know you’re busy, but don’t be too busy for quality playtime.
Please be patient. I’m adjusting. I know how to be a dog, but I don’t know how to live in a human would. Please learn to read my body language. Once you have my trust you’ll have my heart forever.
