Take some time to inspect your home for potential hazards. Just like baby-proofing, pet-proofing helps prevent accidents and ensures a safe environment.

Be sure to:

  1. Secure trash bins to prevent rummaging

  2. Store chemicals and medications out of reach

  3. Remove plants toxic to dogs, such as lilies, poinsettias, or philodendrons

  4. Hide cords and cables to prevent chewing

  5. Block off areas you don’t want your foster dog to access, like stairs or certain rooms
