2. Preparing Your Home: Creating a Safe Haven

Creating a welcoming and safe environment is crucial for your rescue pet’s comfort and well-being. Begin by pet-proofing your home, ensuring that hazardous items and areas are secured. Designate a specific space for your pet, complete with a cozy bed, toys, and feeding stations. This dedicated area will serve as a sanctuary where your pet can retreat and feel secure. Additionally, consider the layout of your home and how it can be adapted to accommodate your pet’s needs, such as installing gates or setting up a litter box. A well-prepared home sets the stage for a smooth transition and helps your pet feel at ease.
