You have taken the time to think about what your life would be like with a pet, and you have decided that a companion would really enrich your life. You’ve taken the time to research potential pets, and have selected one you feel would be ideal in your household. How can you welcome her into your family?

Your pet needs to know that you care for her, and that her needs will be met. Try to have her belongings all set up upon her arrival so she can see that she has everything she needs. Be there for her, but also let her process her new environment in her own time and way. This may mean giving her some space until she gets used to you and understands that you aren’t a threat to her.
