Why we made it
Those first weeks can feel exciting, overwhelming, joyful and chaotic, sometimes all in the same hour. That is completely normal. Every dog takes time to settle in and every owner learns as they go. A dog is a bestie, and the time you invest in that first month shapes the relationship you get to keep for life.
