We advise all adopters to expect the 3-3-3 rule as a general guideline for introducing a pet to the home: 3 days to decompress (will show nervousness, hiding, reduced appetite), 3 weeks to settle into a routine (beginning to explore and showing personality), and 3 months to build trust and feel fully comfortable in their new home. This period may be longer for shy or extremely scared animals. A typical cattle dog mix, Bingo will do best in a no-cat (and probably no-chicken) home. However, Bingo is fantastic with dogs and will tailor his energy levels to the dog he's paired with. He does have a tendency to herd dogs and people, but that is a breed consideration and should be expected with cattle dog mixes. Bingo ADORES trips out with volunteers and has done beautifully with everyone he's met.
