Got our rescue dog from Spain today!

As the title says we picked up our rescue dog today, we are so happy! We adopted him from Spain with a lot of help from a local rescue centre.

He is currently fast asleep after travelling since Thursday!

Has anyone else rescued a dog (maybe also from abroad) and do you have any hints or tips to make him as comfortable as possible?

    Ah he /she is one lucky dog.

    I would say the main thing is taking things at there pace,

    - the first few times in the garden - take them on a lead, so they know the boundaries

    - out and about start small walkies and for the first couple weeks stick to the same route

    - try to avoid tons of visitors - may be too much for the dog at first

    - work on simple commands

    - although i don't use one, consider a cage - so the dog knows that there safe zone

    Hope everything goes ok,

    (for pics - need to go through photobucket open an account (free) upload photos to there, then there produce a link - add this link to the post and then people can log in only lead to pics you link to xx
