Before you bring a puppy home
A few things worth sorting out before you meet the puppy you like.
-
Ask what's been done
Vaccines, deworming, a microchip, and whether spay or neuter is done or booked. Rescues usually list these on the puppy's page.
-
Expect an application
Most shelters and rescues ask for an application, references or a home visit, and an adoption fee. Popular puppies go quickly, so apply early.
-
Puppy-proof one room
Lift cords, shoes and houseplants out of reach, and set up a crate or a gated area where your puppy can rest.
-
Plan the first few weeks
Book a vet visit soon after pickup, and plan for frequent trips outside while your puppy learns house training.
