Adoption tips

A new home is a big step. Good preparation helps you get off to a happy start together.

Preparing for your first weeks together

Moving from our foster home to yours is a big change. Our adoption guide explains in detail how to support a calm, safe move and your first weeks together.

The guide covers all topics: safe transport and the safety harness, trackers, rest and the 3-3-3 guideline, our open resting-place policy, visitors and children, meeting other dogs, sniffing and chewing, body language, food, medical care and the trial period.
