THE BIG DAY HAS ARRIVED! Your home is pug-proofed, and it's time to bring your new puppy or dog home. You can help this event go smoothly by planning when and how to introduce your pug to his new surroundings. This includes getting a complete information packet from the breeder, shelter, or rescue group, scheduling a trip to the veterinarian for a health check, and introducing him to the neighbors and other pets.
