Hello all! I just recently today picked up a dog from facebook ( a chihuahua terrier mix) and the girl i had gotten him from wasn’t his original owner (his old owner moved and just left him on the property). i asked a lot of questions and she sent videos of him being sweet so i thought i would give it a try to give him a home since the woman taking temporary care of him was not allowed to keep him. As soon as i met him he’s been growling and snapping nonstop, i know this is an adjustment but about 2 hours ago i brought him home (longer car ride) and i have him in our guest bathroom with puppy pads, water, food, and a blanket that smells like us. he’s currently in a kennel in there as he refuses to leave or step foot out of it. i know it takes him awhile to get used to us and get comfortable but what more else can i do for him? any tips on how to make him more comfortable and what i should do tomorrow? we can’t really get near him to put a collar or leash on either, which is totally fine for right now, but some tips on future handling for a collar leash would be amazing aswell
