Hi! Next week our puppy will be coming up from a rescue transport in Alabama. We know the rescue well and have had friends adopt from them in the past.
The pup was supposed to come up last month, but unfortunately they had a kennel cough outbreak and elected to quarantine for a few weeks, just to be safe. (She, as far as we know, never exhibited symptoms)
So, instead of a five month old that will have only been in a shelter for two weeks, we'll be getting a nearly sixonth old that's been in a shelter for a month.
We live in the other end of the country, so she'll have had a long journey! Has anyone been in a similar situation? What advice for her adjustment do you have?
For extra context, we have two cats and a senior dog, who will be kept away from her for a day or two while she adjusts. She'll also be mostly kept in an expen/crated.
(Also, the date change means she's arriving when my wife is out of town and I'll be going solo, but I'll deal)
