It's National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, so here are 4 tips on what to do with your new adopted pet! 1. Remain calm & quiet, limiting your excitement around your new pet. 2. If you plan on crate training, leave the door open so he/she can enter at their own pace until they become more comfortable. 3. Be patient, as it may take a few weeks after adoption for your pet to warm up to you. It is then that their true personality will come out to play. 4. Establish a scheduled routine for feeding, play
