Training & Support

Remember that shelter behavior is just a snapshot and may change in a new home. Buddy, like many dogs, may need time, patience, and training to adjust. We recommend learning about your dog's breed or mix to ensure it's a good fit for your family. Moving to a new home can be stressful for dogs. Use the Rule of 3 to help them adjust:

• First 3 days: Dogs may feel scared, tired, overexcited, or not want to eat.
• First 3 weeks: Dogs start learning routines and may show new behaviors. Keep things calm and avoid busy places.
• First 3 months: Dogs usually feel settled and more comfortable.

It's also important to note that young children should never be left alone with dogs, and we cannot guarantee how any dog will behave with children or other pets. Dogs should not be fed together unless you know they do not guard food.
