🐾 The 3-3-3 Rule: What to Expect When Adopting a Rescue 🏡
Bringing home a rescue dog (or cat, rabbit etc)? Remember, patience is everything! ❤️ The 3-3-3 Rule is a handy guide to help you understand how long it might take for your new furry friend to settle in.
✨ First 3 Days:
🐶 Your dog may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or confused.
🐶 They might hide, have little appetite, or be unsure of their surroundings.
🐶 This is a huge change for them - so keep things calm and predictable.
✨ Next 3 Weeks:
🐶 They’ll start feeling more comfortable and may test some boundaries.
🐶 Their true personality will begin to shine! 🌟
🐶 They’ll start learning your routine - consistency is key!
✨ First 3 Months:
🐶 This is when real bonding happens! 🥰
🐶 Trust is built, training progresses, and they feel truly at home.
🐶 Your dog will finally understand they are safe, loved, and staying for good!
🐾 Important to Remember:
✔️ Every animal is different - some settle quicker, some take longer.
✔️ If they’ve had a rough past, they may need extra patience and understanding.
✔️ The key? Time, love, and consistency.
Adopting a rescue is rewarding, but it’s not instant. Give them the chance to grow, trust, and love at their own pace. Their forever starts with you. ❤️
Remember, this applies to cats and other animals too not just dogs!
