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.
Looking for an older dog?
Adult dogs are often already house trained, and their size and personality are known. See every dog for adoption in Kentucky.
