What to Expect When Adopting a Rescue Dog

Adopting a rescue dog like Jimbo means welcoming a unique and deserving companion into your home. Rescue dogs may have had varied past experiences, which can influence their behavior and needs. Patience and understanding are essential as Jimbo adjusts to his new environment and learns to trust his new family. Expect to spend time building a bond with Jimbo through consistent interaction and positive reinforcement. House training and basic obedience may require extra attention, especially if Jimbo has not had prior training. Be prepared for joyful moments as Jimbo's personality unfolds and he becomes a cherished member of your family.
