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!🙂

Right on about needing to have lots of toys available. Our second day of having him we went out and bought lots of different toys for him.

Good dog ownership, you saw what he needed and sorted it. You're starting strong.
