This Discharge Form is provided to the adopter and made part of the Adoption Agreement to ensure the Adopter is aware of additional items that are specific to the pug(s) being adopted. We try to discuss these items prior to adoption but put them in writing to ensure the information is provided as a reference for the future care of the pug.
TIPS FOR BRINGING HOME A RESCUE PUG: Your new pug will have unfamiliar surroundings and may go through an adjustment period while settling into their new home. THIS IS NORMAL. There's no way to know exactly how long it will take to adapt; some will fit in the minute they walk through your door, while others may take weeks. You may notice them not eating or drinking, hiding in "safe places," wary behavior, and even aggressive behavior as they test the boundaries of their new space. The best thing you can do for them is be patient and provide lots of love while they figure out they have finally found a forever, safe and loving home with you. If you have another dog, it can take up to a month (and sometimes longer) for your dog(s) and new dog to really settle in, accept each other and find their new routine. You just need to establish boundaries and expectations along with positive reinforcement. If you are having trouble with them acclimating, please let your rescue contact know and they can offer tips and advice. We strive to place each dog in the best home for them and have had very few dogs returned and will help you to make a smooth transition.
