How can I prepare my home for a rescue dog before bringing it home?

Start by creating a safe space for your new furry friend, which includes a comfortable bed, food and water bowls, and some toys to keep them entertained. • Make sure to dog-proof your home by securing any hazardous items or substances, like cleaning supplies or electrical cords, out of reach. • Consider setting up a small area for potty training if the dog is not already trained, especially if you're adopting a puppy. • Having basic supplies ready, such as food, a collar, leash, and grooming tools, will help your new pet settle in quickly.
