🐶❤️ 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! So many wonderful dogs in shelters are waiting for their chance to become someone's best friend. In honor of 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, Loma Linda Animal Hospital is celebrating shelter pups and the families who open their hearts and homes to them! 🏡🐾
If you're considering adopting a dog, remember that bringing home a new family member comes with more than plenty of cuddles and treats. Helping your new pup start healthy and safe is an important part of responsible pet ownership.
🩺 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺. Have your primary veterinarian examine your new dog, and discuss vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition, spaying or neutering, and any health concerns.
🏷️ 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Make sure your dog has an ID tag and verify that their microchip is registered with your current contact information.
🏡 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁. A new home can be overwhelming. Provide a quiet, comfortable space and allow your dog time to become familiar with their new surroundings and routine.
🦴 𝗣𝗲𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. Keep medications, toxic foods, household chemicals, electrical cords, small objects, and anything they could accidentally swallow safely out of reach.
🐕 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴. Newly adopted dogs may be more likely to run or become frightened as they adjust to unfamiliar surroundings.
🐾 We can't wait to meet the new addition to your family. 🙂
