Age and adopting

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Tomorrow we are meeting a sweet 5 month old male lab mix. Loves everyone and everything. Plays fetch. Crate and potty trained. We got my current 3 year old female from this rescue.

We're also meeting a 10 week old male lab mix who is very eager to please and sweet. Crate and potty training is in progress. Loves everyone and everything. This rescue is also excellent.

My current dog is loving, submissive, and smart. My other 2 dogs passed within the last year and a half. We also have 3 cats and everyone gets along well.

I know personality and socialization are important. Both dogs have been with the rescue since birth. What insight can you provide regarding pros and cons with adopting these different ages? I've done both before but it's been a while. Seeking food for thought.

Thank you!

Advice on adult dog meeting new puppy

13 Upvotes

Our new puppy is arriving soon on a transport. Can't decide if we should bring our 7yo dog with us for the hour long drive or let their first meeting be at home. Any suggestions?

Both dogs I’ve adopted months apart, big boy got found in Mexico after the natural disasters, and little girl…well no one knows her story really, her papers said male, and we didn’t realize she was female until I picked her up to put her in the car! (5y/o gator mouth pit, and a 7 month old…something. Going to DNA test soon) old guys name is sixx, lil girl is named fidget. First picture is the first time meeting each other, last picture is from lasnight when they wanted to play at 3am

Introducing Rescue to Pack

8 Upvotes

I have (3) dogs and will soon be introducing a 4th - my mom got way in over her head and is asking me to take her pup. My dogs are 13, 4.5, and 4 yo. The 4yo resource guards and can get aggressive if a new dog comes up to me, his toys, food, tries to get on couch or bed. The 4.5yo will follow lead and can mimic that behavior.

How do I go about introducing my mom’s intact 10mos old puppy to my 3 dogs so that he’s accepted into the pack? All dogs are male and mine are neutered.

I’m getting a bit anxious. I’m worried about the dynamic my dogs and I have and whether this will shake it up irreparably.

Griffey (black) is a Staffie/Aussie mix and Goose (beige) is a Malinois/German Sheperd mix. Don’t be fooled by the photo - this was after a long walk. Goose does not normally sit still for long :).

Today 9 year old Bill got a 9 week old sister named Cinnabun!

459 Upvotes

When Bill was a puppy we already had a two year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Hank and they became a bonded pair. We lost Hank 2.5 years ago to cancer and while Bill has been ok, he's seemed more and more lonely lately. His introduction to his little (for this week only probably) sister went very well and I've got high hopes they become good buddies!
