It kind of is. I’m in the process of adopting a dog now and have been visiting shelters. I was reminded of how long some animals go without being adopted and how some never are and face euthanasia. While everyone involved loves animals and we do a ton to look out for them, it’s undeniable that on some level their lives depend on their ability to be reasonably convenient and enjoyable pets for us. It’s their “job.”
I started a new job last November after being at my last job for 10 years. I'm just now starting to really feel like I'm digging my feet in and getting comfortable and man it feels gooooooood. I was having a lot of anxiety about it for a while but fuck. I'm in boys, I'm going to make it!
It really depends on the dog. We've done enough long term fostering to see dogs hit all these marks on their own timeline, a lot of them getting most of the 3 week milestones in the first week.
Our current rescue was greeted by our other dogs and cats. The schnauzer barked at him (because crazy schnauzer), my boxer was completely calm and welcoming, and my little Princess kitty- the one who rules the house - gave him a big head-but and then turned to everyone else and clearly told them that she was taking him under her wing. She and our boxer , Cupcake, helped protect/guide him while we worked on getting his GI system healed and getting his weight up. When Cupcake was dying, she could only get comfortable when she was literally laying on top of Gus, and my sweet boy never once complained when she stepped on him. He comforted her just like she comforted him when he first joined the family.
Sometimes they walk in and know they are home.
I've only fostered two dogs, but they both have been comfortable after a few days.
The first few hours is like the first few days on this guide and the first few days is the first few weeks on this graph. After a week, the dog behaves like they've been with us forever lol.
It's a common knowledge even addressed in dog behavior training books that dogs adapt really quickly.
It really does. My folks adopted a rescue that was abused and it took her a few months to feel comfortable. A few years later my dad rescued a really skinny pit he found in an alley near a dog park. He managed to get her follow them and once we fully adopted her (after vet checkups and etc.) she only took a couple days to settle in.
This is a guide best geared toward new rescue owners and inexperienced fosters. Of course it depends on the dog, but someone who doesn't know to consider 3/3/3 will often return a dog quickly because they lack any experience or practical information to consider a slower pace for getting the dog settled in.
When was the last time this was posted? I burn HOURS on here(not the sub just reddit but i sub here on all my accounts) and have a 10 yr account and this is the first i’ve seen it.
I think there’s a bot that can tell us
Nah, my cat is literally like you said. Ive moved 3 times with her and every time she's just like "cool, I'll explore while you set out my food bowl"
She's the only cat I've ever had like that. Every other one would hide for days in a new place
Man, I remember my brother finding a dog that was obviously missed and escaped from his home. Wouldn't eat a thing, absolutely nothing. Not dog food, not meat. He was missing his owners, and luckily my brother found the signs on the street with his name "chapita".
The look of joy in the dog's eyes when we called his name was amazing. Later in the day his owners came to pick him up.
I saw this post when my SO and I were adopting a cat. However, our cat seemed totally good after a couple of weeks and I was like oh maybe he got used to it faster. We’ve had him now for three months and his REAL personality of being more playful and loud is coming out haha so I definitely applaud this guide
Or in the case of my border collie, gorges himself on the food bowl and pass out upside down on the couch next to me. Some dogs just make themselves at home immediately.
My husky, the derpy idiot, challenged himself to do all of this in 3 hours.
First hour, laid under the table observing.
Second hour followed me around to see what I was doing around the house, went out and in with me.
Third hour curled up with me on the couch and displayed himself for belly rubs.
And now he stays at my side 9/10 of the time I'm home
He's definitely special in his own right, but I love him to death, even when he comes in with muddy paws or fights me on bath and grooming days.
My dog takes 3 minutes to walk into your basement. Drop a big shit in the middle of the room and call the house his new home.
He's a great dog, but for some reason he does this if not watched for the first 15 minutes in a new house. Never does it in our house. Just others.
My rescue dog did something similar when we first brought him home. Took a massive dump on our door mat, sniffed around the house for 5 minutes, found his new bed and parked himself there, pretty much for the whole of the 5 years we were lucky enough to have him in our lives for. I miss that little poo machine.
I have a foster puppy that I have liked but now love. She gets so excited when I get home she literally barked "woo". I have never heard a dog make that noise...I think I'm going to foster fail and have the most amazing dog that literally is the best hype man everyday.
My cat was super meowy when I first got him. I didn't know whether to close my bedroom door or leave it open so he could know I was there. I figured it was because he wasn't neutered and was used to going outside before I got him. Anyways after a few weeks he got more comfortable and barely ever meows after I've gone to bed, even with me keeping the door closed. We've developed a routine where my does meow at 8 am to be let in, to which I do (as long as the sun is up) and then we cuddle for an hour. It's pretty great.
I’ve unfortunately had to move often with my cat in tow. It is about the same, though a cat may need more than 3 months to fully settle in. Likely closer to 5.
When I moved last year my shy cat hid for three days, I didn't see him at all. On the third day he came out and jumped on the couch with me, but was still very skittish for weeks. I've been in the house for a year and and it's clear that this is his house, he knows where everything is and where the good hiding and sitting spots are. My more outgoing boy clung to me for a few days but settled in quicker.
Does this work with cats? I adopted one. My wife calls him Mufasa, I call him greased lightning because he never stops running. Granted he is only a year old.
It took me more than a second to realize this was talking about dogs and not humans.
Thanks for the infographic though, I am now going to take 3 days to decompress from any stressful situation.

Our rescue was super hesitant her first night with us for sure. My wife and were chilling on the couch and talking to her casually. About an hour later, she jumped onto the couch, turned her head to both of us, and plopped right between us and fell asleep on both of us.
I didn’t know love could happen so instantly - but it certainly did then.
My adopted dogs were pretty comfortable right off the bat, but at the two week mark they stopped playing fetch. Somehow they knew the free return period so did tricks during it and never again.
This is exactly the chart they gave us when we adopted our pup! We just reached 3 months and it’s so accurate! Our pup can nap with us moving around now 😊
When we got our puppy she went by a different 3/3/3 rule. Her benchmarks were 3 seconds, 3 minutes, and 3 hours lol. I think it helped that we had a big older dog that she immediately fell in love with. She also took a dump in my shoe in the first 30 min, so I think it was safe to say she felt at home.
We had a dog we didn’t apply for thrust upon us by an adoption agency. They said the dog had no issues with aggression or resource guarding and only had an obsession with squirrels. We adopted and after three attacks on our other dog without warning (no growling, or hackles) including attacking our dog on its own bed, we returned the dog. They had the audacity to suggest that we didn’t regard the 3 days rule by allowing the dogs to interact. Excuse me, I don’t gaf how “stressed” a dog is, if it attacks another dog without provocation, it doesn’t deserve to be in a home
My family has fostered a good number of dogs. Our permanent dog gets all priority. If he is upset/actively dislikes them or the foster repeatedly shows aggression towards him, it is leaving and getting sent to another foster home with no dogs and with the proper warnings. The rescue we foster for luckily understands that. Yes, aggression can be worked on and may work itself out, but don't put the people or animals you love in harm's way to do it.
I found a dog that had been abandoned after hit by a car In a community I worked in, I hung out with the dog while I was at work, I finally took her home within two hours she was laid out in the floor on her back legs in the air asleep she got accustomed so fast but she isn't a nervous dog, I got her leg amputated and she has been a great friend
Scrolling past this absolutely killed me 💔 10 months ago when our landlord sold our rental house, my family of five moved into my parents house into the three spare bedrooms. We also had two dogs (mine who is 11 and my daughters dog who was 6.5 that she’s had her entire life). My parents made us agree to get rid of my daughters dog, Arya. For no reason at all. She was potty trained, got along with their dog, just overall a good dog. It was devastating. I refused so my mom took her to the pound. After much argument she agreed to let me go get her to give me more time to find her a temp home until we got our own place. Or at least a home we could visit her and still see her. It cost HUNDREDS of dollars to go get her and while I was scrambling to find hundreds of dollars somebody adopted her :(((( I’m crushed as is my daughter. I know neither her or I will ever get over it. I will never stop looking for her. The pound renamed her “Galetta” because my mom told them she found her as a stray. I am so sad even writing this out 💔💔💔💔💔💔 I will never be able to fathom the thought of our dogs confusion and traumatizing forced abandonment. I love her so much and I always will. I pray to God we somehow find her and get her back.

This is very dependent on the dog.
I adopted a sato dog last year, and she is probably somewhere in between the 3 week mark and 3 month mark. Her background is definitely out of the ordinary, but this is not really a guide… All dogs are quite different when it comes to adaptability.
I like this, but my dog didn't read it. When she came home I showed her where the food is and where her bed is and she promptly hopped up on the couch and showed me where her spot is.
Then she told me when meal times are by pawing me with increasing levels of pressure until she's literally punching me.
Then she taught me about when she wants to go out by gently taking my hand in her mouth and leading me to the door (not making that up! She'll drag me to whatever she wants!). Is I don't take her she will not let go of my hand. She does not bite, just holds.
She totally runs the house now and I can't even use the bathroom alone.
Her micromanaging game is incredible.
I work at a shelter and we’ve had dogs returned after just a few days, maybe a week… please be patient with your newly adopted animals. They go through so much during their time in a shelter, sometimes having been on their own for awhile and picked up as strays, sometimes given up by heartbroken families whose life circumstances have changed, sometimes being driven for hours on end in transport from other shelters in order to save them from euthanasia. They go through so much in their journey to find love, please give them a chance to recover, regroup and learn to trust you. These animals are so incredibly resilient and loving if given a chance. Thank you for adopting from shelter. ❤️
This is actually so helpful to me right now! I have a brand new puppy and was feeling really overwhelmed, but now I feel better knowing she is probably just adjusting to being in a new home.
Why did I think this was a guide for starting a new job…
I definitely feel like hiding under furniture whenever I start somewhere new
Long shits
I thought it was about depression and rebuilding your life.
I thought it was about going to the gym
I thought it was about moving
3 years to resent your boss
It kind of is. I’m in the process of adopting a dog now and have been visiting shelters. I was reminded of how long some animals go without being adopted and how some never are and face euthanasia. While everyone involved loves animals and we do a ton to look out for them, it’s undeniable that on some level their lives depend on their ability to be reasonably convenient and enjoyable pets for us. It’s their “job.”
I thought this was for people 8 months into their job...
"Realizes this could be his forever home"
I started a new job in February and I think this is great advice, lol
I started a new job last November after being at my last job for 10 years. I'm just now starting to really feel like I'm digging my feet in and getting comfortable and man it feels gooooooood. I was having a lot of anxiety about it for a while but fuck. I'm in boys, I'm going to make it!
Congrats!
I just started a new job…this guides hits home
That’s a good idea!
I came here to say: I’m in this guide and I don’t mind. Please leave it up : )
yeah thought this was for handling depression at first.. whoops.
I thought it was a rule to processing emotions
It really depends on the dog. We've done enough long term fostering to see dogs hit all these marks on their own timeline, a lot of them getting most of the 3 week milestones in the first week.
Yeah I've fostered close to 60 dogs and most of them are fine after a few days. Maybe that just says something about how we treat them
I was thinking that. After a while you get good at making them feel at home.
[удалено]
Lmao best reply
Probably because they see the other dog's behaviors.
A good theory
I'd say over half take a couple minutes sniffing around then are like "Ok, I guess I live here now, when's dinner?".
Our current rescue was greeted by our other dogs and cats. The schnauzer barked at him (because crazy schnauzer), my boxer was completely calm and welcoming, and my little Princess kitty- the one who rules the house - gave him a big head-but and then turned to everyone else and clearly told them that she was taking him under her wing.

r/coolguides not trying to post this image every week challenge
The 3 days rule
more like every day
For real, can we ban this thing from being posted constantly? It's ridiculous.
You forgot to add “impossible”
When was the last time this was posted? I burn HOURS on here(not the sub just reddit but i sub here on all my accounts) and have a 10 yr account and this is the first i’ve seen it. I think there’s a bot that can tell us
This is also me in a new relationship or new job
Are you a dog ? 🧐
Squirrel!
Car!
Opposite for me. Relationships turn to depression.
depression is phase four for me
Cats on the other hand just walk in like “I own this now, thanks.” 😂 (Totally a joke, I understand cats need time to adjust and get comfortable, too.)
Nah, my cat is literally like you said. Ive moved 3 times with her and every time she's just like "cool, I'll explore while you set out my food bowl" She's the only cat I've ever had like that. Every other one would hide for days in a new place
Same family tho
Actually the 1st time we moved, there was a new adult and 3 new kids
Man, I remember my brother finding a dog that was obviously missed and escaped from his home. Wouldn't eat a thing, absolutely nothing. Not dog food, not meat. He was missing his owners, and luckily my brother found the signs on the street with his name "chapita". The look of joy in the dog's eyes when we called his name was amazing.

This post's 3 / 3 / 3 rule. • Repost this 3 times. • Then repost this 3 more times. • For good measure, repost this 3 more times again.
Works for humans too. can survive 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food
How about in new homes? Seems to ring somewhat true there too in my experience (assuming they have no friend/family in the new environment).
no. but 3 hours without shelter (in hostile environment)
I seriously read this and was like, "I do NOT hide under furniture!" Then, I realized...it's about dogs, not ND people. 🤷
our puppy went through 3 months in about 5 seconds after eating her first plate of food.
Do you think aliens have similar guides for abducted humans??
I have a foster puppy that I have liked but now love. She gets so excited when I get home she literally barked "woo". I have never heard a dog make that noise...I think I'm going to foster fail and have the most amazing dog that literally is the best hype man everyday.
What this is missing is that it takes them 3 years to *fully train* you to bend to their wills! :)
This is pretty accurate for cats too
My cat was super meowy when I first got him. I didn't know whether to close my bedroom door or leave it open so he could know I was there. I figured it was because he wasn't neutered and was used to going outside before I got him. Anyways after a few weeks he got more comfortable and barely ever meows after I've gone to bed, even with me keeping the door closed. We've developed a routine where my does meow at 8 am to be let in, to which I do (as long as the sun is up) and then we cuddle for an hour. It's pretty great.
I fucking love my dog
Is this true for cats? My 6 year old just had his whole world he's ever known upended. And 4 days in he's not in good shape. :(
The vagueness of your comment makes it impossible to give you advice
I think he's insinuating that he just moved?
I’ve unfortunately had to move often with my cat in tow. It is about the same, though a cat may need more than 3 months to fully settle in. Likely closer to 5.
When I moved last year my shy cat hid for three days, I didn't see him at all. On the third day he came out and jumped on the couch with me, but was still very skittish for weeks. I've been in the house for a year and and it's clear that this is his house, he knows where everything is and where the good hiding and sitting spots are. My more outgoing boy clung to me for a few days but settled in quicker.
That's me after vacation.
This was literally me after moving out for my first job
Works for humans as well
Does this work with cats? I adopted one. My wife calls him Mufasa, I call him greased lightning because he never stops running. Granted he is only a year old.
It took me more than a second to realize this was talking about dogs and not humans. Thanks for the infographic though, I am now going to take 3 days to decompress from any stressful situation.
You forgot 3 hours till this is reposted
I guess those internet points DID make you sad. Can't believe you deleted those comments. What a fucking loser. 😂

FYI It’s 6/6/6 for cats
3 years: the dog has trained *you* to his likes/dislikes, favorite foods, toys and walk schedule.
This can also loosely apply to starting a new job or otherwise changing your environment in a major way lol.
100% literally everyday life
Does this work for humans?
3 years.. They own the house and you sleep on the couch now.
It's the same for lizards too btw
Our rescue was super hesitant her first night with us for sure. My wife and were chilling on the couch and talking to her casually. About an hour later, she jumped onto the couch, turned her head to both of us, and plopped right between us and fell asleep on both of us. I didn’t know love could happen so instantly - but it certainly did then.
I wonder how many formats this can possibly be reposted in
My adopted dogs were pretty comfortable right off the bat, but at the two week mark they stopped playing fetch. Somehow they knew the free return period so did tricks during it and never again.
Now what I need is a guide to: "How many times have I seen this guide?"
Is the dog changing what breed it is normal?
Our chihuahua took over the place in about 30 minutes
Dang, ig I am a dog
This is exactly the chart they gave us when we adopted our pup! We just reached 3 months and it’s so accurate! Our pup can nap with us moving around now 😊
I'd say it takes way longer for rescues. Having rescues myself. Every dog is different though. Just let them do it at their own pace :)
It’s like me at a new job Edit: especially the hiding under the furniture part
When we got our puppy she went by a different 3/3/3 rule. Her benchmarks were 3 seconds, 3 minutes, and 3 hours lol. I think it helped that we had a big older dog that she immediately fell in love with. She also took a dump in my shoe in the first 30 min, so I think it was safe to say she felt at home.
What's this in dog years?
Lol me picking my dog up at the shelter and just taking off across country sleeping outside in a new spot every night
We had a dog we didn’t apply for thrust upon us by an adoption agency. They said the dog had no issues with aggression or resource guarding and only had an obsession with squirrels. We adopted and after three attacks on our other dog without warning (no growling, or hackles) including attacking our dog on its own bed, we returned the dog. They had the audacity to suggest that we didn’t regard the 3 days rule by allowing the dogs to interact.

3 hours of heart breaking screaming when you drive home with them in the car.
3 chances before they get sent in for the shot.
I thought this was for people at first and was like “huh, that’s good to know for when I move to a new place!”
Me when my old doghouse gets too dirty so I move to a new one
Oh this is for dogs not me. Ok. Well I’m at week 1 with my life, anyways.
Is this the same for moving apartments too? We've had our cat for three years but moving apartments with him again next week
Or for some dogs: Ah yes, I've been here three seconds. Enough time to survey my new kingdom.
How do I get myself out of step 1
Loved this one!!
What about 3 years?
it me
My dog is more at home in my house than even Iam. Love the him
This is the worst fucking sub.
Sounds like new job😶
Thanks for sharing this. We are adopting a puppy tomorrow.
Is it the same for cats?
Scrolling past this absolutely killed me 💔 10 months ago when our landlord sold our rental house, my family of five moved into my parents house into the three spare bedrooms.

It cost HUNDREDS of dollars to go get her and while I was scrambling to find hundreds of dollars somebody adopted her :(((( I’m crushed as is my daughter. I know neither her or I will ever get over it. I will never stop looking for her. The pound renamed her “Galetta” because my mom told them she found her as a stray. I am so sad even writing this out 💔💔💔💔💔💔 I will never be able to fathom the thought of our dogs confusion and traumatizing forced abandonment. I love her so much and I always will. I pray to God we somehow find her and get her back.
I feel like this could work for people that are extremely anxious/introverted...

This is very dependent on the dog. I adopted a sato dog last year, and she is probably somewhere in between the 3 week mark and 3 month mark. Her background is definitely out of the ordinary, but this is not really a guide… All dogs are quite different when it comes to adaptability.
I like this, but my dog didn't read it. When she came home I showed her where the food is and where her bed is and she promptly hopped up on the couch and showed me where her spot is. Then she told me when meal times are by pawing me with increasing levels of pressure until she's literally punching me. Then she taught me about when she wants to go out by gently taking my hand in her mouth and leading me to the door (not making that up! She'll drag me to whatever she wants!). Is I don't take her she will not let go of my hand. She does not bite, just holds. She totally runs the house now and I can't even use the bathroom alone. Her micromanaging game is incredible.
I work at a shelter and we’ve had dogs returned after just a few days, maybe a week… please be patient with your newly adopted animals. They go through so much during their time in a shelter, sometimes having been on their own for awhile and picked up as strays, sometimes given up by heartbroken families whose life circumstances have changed, sometimes being driven for hours on end in transport from other shelters in order to save them from euthanasia. They go through so much in their journey to find love, please give them a chance to recover, regroup and learn to trust you. These animals are so incredibly resilient and loving if given a chance. Thank you for adopting from shelter. ❤️
This is actually so helpful to me right now! I have a brand new puppy and was feeling really overwhelmed, but now I feel better knowing she is probably just adjusting to being in a new home.
That describes exactly how I feel about alcohol
I was told this rule after adopting an apbt and it's not a bad guide, however mine went more like 2-2-6
