Make Your Home A Safe Place For Your Rescue Dog!

As many of us continue to navigate working from home, we are excited to see an uptick in the number of foster homes and pet adoptions!

The Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington, DC has reported an increase in pet adoptions, which is such great news!

There are several items you are able to do to help turn your home into a pet-friendly space as well as ease the transition providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging home environment. Additionally, it is important to pet-proof your home ensuring tempting items are out of reach so as to avoid any dangerous situations for your pet and also prevent expensive repairs for yourself.

Our friends at Redfin wrote an excellent article on bringing home a rescue pup. You may read more here.
