Please read this information before you apply to adopt a rescue dog
They are failed by society. Please be serious when you apply be honest with yourself if you can handle a dog with issues.
People want the dog to fit in and often make the biggest mistakes during this period. They will give the dog too much love, too much training, too much attention…everything that’s too much is TOO MUCH. After the experience of living at the shelter the best thing a dog can get upon getting out is space. Space that will allow the dog to decompress from the emotional stress that dogs incur at our shelter. During that phase they should NOT be bothered too much, NOT be engaged too much and NOT too much should be expected of them. Especially for the first few days…allow the dog to SEE what his new life will be without expecting him to Live this LIFE” ~~~~Robert Cabral- The Decompression Phase- Bound Angels~~~~
Decompression is a calming period that a dog needs when first arriving in your home. It is imperative the dog has this time to adjust to the new environment, people, and other animals. The average decompression time is about two weeks, but it differs for every dog.
Be prepared for stress-related physical problems Be prepared for house training issues. Be prepared for escape attempts. Give them space. Keep them on a leash.
they could have came from a hoarding situation where thy lived tied up or in a room for years etc.
Being moved from rescue to a new home is another SITUTATION . This adoption is a life commitment for you and the dog you need to be prepared for training and behavioral issues that will arise in time. To many people are so gung ho to adopt and agree they will work with a trainer if a issues arises but when something does happen we are the 1st ones to get a call or email now the dogs needs to be returned. We want educated and committed families who don't give up .
Lets all work together and figure out solutions otherwise we all fail.

- When your dog first arrives, before they even go inside your home, take them for a walk
- When you get back to your home, keep your dog leashed and walk them calmly through the front door and while keeping him leashed, walk around your home. NO FREE ROAM.
- Once you have done a quick tour with the dog, take him to his crate area, allow him some water . The crate should be in an area of the house that is neither isolated nor in the middle of everything. You want your new dog to observe you and your family without feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
- With the dog still leashed, take him out. Bring him back in and put him in his crate. Let him rest. It’s important to establish the routine and structure of the crate straight away.
- NO rough play, NO couch, NO beds, NO laps, NO kissy face, NO free roam through the house, NO interactions with any other pets, NO visits from your friends and family, NO trips to Petco and No car rides (other than to the vet). The goal for these first few weeks is to help your dog learn the structure/rules/boundaries of your home.
- After free time, its back outside (still leashed) for potty and then back in for some crate rest.
- Once you put your new dog in his crate, ignore him. Let him rest.
- The first few weeks for new foster or adopted dog should be very simple. Walks/potty breaks/limited free time in the house/crate time…repeat.
