Adopting a 2 year old dog tomorrow. Any tips? (lemmy.ca)

My wife and I have always wanted to have a dog and out of an interesting turn of events, we have the opportunity to adopt a 2 year old dog that a family friend cannot take care of anymore (they developed an illness that radically saps their energy).

Super excited but a little worried about making sure the doggo is taken care of properly. We’ll have to drive him back in our car for 3h30 and we have an old overly-affectionate cat.

What do people think? Any tips? Relevant stories? Give me your thoughts and have an awesome day!🙂

Though I will say, retrievers, you can sometimes give them a literal chest full of toys, and really all they want are your napkins and mail.

I let them shred apart toilet paper tubes though.

Oh yes, absolutely

Solid advice. Little dude is enamoured by bog rolls.
