Congratulations on your new dog.
I know you want to take them to the beach, the pet store and your café....however can I ask for a few minutes so I can explain just what your dog has gone through.....and why you need to take the next few weeks SLOW.

Your new dog has had it's whole world turned upside down.
They don't know you.
They don't know if they can trust you.
They don't know if they are with you for an hour or forever.
They may have been in various scary places.
Other houses, rescues, the pound and likely ALL of these in the past few days or weeks.

Your dog has stress hormones surging through their brain, they are STRESSED....they need to decompress, they need STABILITY in their environment and from you.

They need time with you and their new environment.
They need to know that the tree outside may rustle against the house and that's OK.
They need to know that those normal creaky noises in your house are OK and that at 3.45 the neighbours bang their door shut.
They need to know when it rains that tapping sound is OK.
They need to know that when the door opens they won't be moved somewhere else again.
They need to trust that YOU are safe even when you have had a bad day, you will still give them food and that they can close their eyes around you.

You know what your good intentions are with your new dog, your dog however has NO idea what is happening.....only that everything has changed and it is scary.

They do NOT need other new environments yet. Take it SLOW.

Dogs that have just been adopted need TIME. There is no need to rush out the next day and take them to all the places you want to go with them.....They need the opposite.

Let them decompress, let them inspect a new area of your house or yard every day or two. Walk them up and down outside your house for a few days (and only there), let them sniff, and sniff some more. Let them p*e freely.....it may be boring for you, but not for your dog. They need to know what is happening around them and they learn that through their nose, eyes and ears.
They NEED this.
They need to learn to TRUST you.

The long walks can wait, the café will still be there in a few weeks and you can visit the pet shop alone until they are ready.

Your bond together is the MOST important thing to concentrate on right now.
You will never regret taking it slow and it can save your dog and yourself from making the very same mistakes that can lead to people rehoming in the first place.

All the very best with your new dog.

🐾FOSTERING APPEAL 🐾

We are appealing for foster families who could help by fostering an animal in our care. We have a number of dogs and puppies currently in ISPCA care who would benefit from a quiet home environment in preparation for their forever homes.

Fostering is a fantastic way to help rescued animals in our care and it is also such a rewarding experience for you, if you are not ready to make a long term commitment but have some time to help.

If you have some time to spend with a furry friend, we would love to hear from you.
Email us at [email protected] for more information or give us a call on 043 33 25035.

Foster sorted.
Is there anyone in the Longford area that can foster this poor kitten.

ROS953 - Foster Home Needed
This little one was found all alone in the Longford area, only around three weeks old. We will need a foster home and someone that can bottle feed for a while. The poor little mite will also need to see a vet as they have flu. If you can help, call Bridget on 087 050 5594.
Any donation to help with veterinary care will be greatly appreciated. Donate via PayPal, you do not need a PayPal account to donate via this link, and there are no fees.
