Absolutely read everything you can!
And you have plenty of time to get all the things you need.
When my husband and I rescued Molly last month, it was a big suprise for both of us.
We're still trying to get things for her; clothes, dog bed, new food bowls....You can just spend this time shopping!
And puppy-proofing your home.
And also doing alot of research for the perfect name.
