For animal shelter volunteer Janique Goff Madison, nothing beats the joy that comes with
seeing one of the dogs under their care find a new family. While some shelters are equipped to
provide the best care to homeless dogs and cats, some don't have enough space and
resources to care for these pets properly. This is why finding the right dog-human match can
be such a heartwarming experience. However, the struggle might not be over. Adopted dogs
need some time to settle in their new home. Here's how to make the transition easy for these
furry friends:

After shelter life: Helping adopted dogs adjust to their new
home

For animal shelter volunteer Janique Goff Madison, nothing beats the joy that comes with
seeing one of the dogs under their care find a new family. While some shelters are equipped to
provide the best care to homeless dogs and cats, some don't have enough space and
resources to care for these pets properly. This is why finding the right dog-human match can
be such a heartwarming experience. However, the struggle might not be over. Adopted dogs
need some time to settle in their new home. Here's how to make the transition easy for these
furry friends:
Prepare the place: Making the home dog-
friendly will make the new addition to the
family feel more comfortable. Assigning a
space where the dog can rest, eat, and play
will make housetraining easier. Janique Goff
Madison says that if there are other pets, it's
important to assign a safe space for the
new dog to let them find their place in the
house. Dog-proofing will also allow the dog
to freely explore the house without the
owners worrying about every move.
Housetrain: Some recommend
housetraining a dog as soon as it arrives at
home. Bringing the dog to their spot or
walking them around the house will give
them an idea of what their new place looks
like. Taking them to their bed or dog house
will make them feel comfortable faster.
When it comes to assigning a spot for the
dog, be sure that it won't be in a crowded or dangerous area.

Introduce the new dog to the residents: Whether these housemates are humans or fellow
animals, give the new dog some time to get to know the other creatures in the house. Janique
Goff Madison says that for some dogs, getting used to their new environment might take
weeks. With patience and care, the latest addition to the household will settle down nicely.
