That is so wonderful! I'm sure you will love having your new pup!

I don't want to scare you, but I want to make sure you're prepared. Every transition for a dog is different, but when we adopted our 3 (now 4) year old girl, she ran away. She was so scared she just took off and we didn't find her for 24 hours. So I would suggest keeping her on a leash at ALL times until she is comfortable with you. It might also help to put a baby gate at all the doors. Now Maddie is fine with us, but those first few weeks we didn't let her out of our sight!

I hope the transition goes smoothly. Best of luck with your new girl!
