Establishing a consistent routine is vital for your rescue pet’s adjustment. Animals thrive on predictability, and a structured schedule can help alleviate anxiety and stress. Begin by setting regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to create a sense of normalcy. Consistency in daily activities not only aids in behavioral training but also strengthens the bond between you and your pet. Be patient as your pet adapts to this new routine; it may take time for them to settle in. A stable routine reassures your pet of their place in your home and helps them feel secure in their new environment.
