DogTag Art    dogtagart.com


Beautiful custom dog tags that do more than look good — they help bring dogs home safely.

Every dog should wear identification, and DogTag Art combines safety with personalized style. From engraved names and phone numbers to custom artwork and meaningful designs, these tags become part of your dog’s story.

At Upshot Dog Rescue, we love products that are both functional and thoughtful, which is why we partnered with DogTag Art to offer custom tags for our adopters and supporters.

Whether you’re celebrating a new adoption, honoring a rescue journey, or simply keeping your dog safe, a quality ID tag matters.

Create a Safe Space

  • Designate a specific area for your dog that is quiet and comfortable, where they can retreat and feel secure. This could be a crate, a play pen or a small room.
  • Ensure the space is equipped with essentials like a comfortable bed, water, and some toys.

Dog-Proof Your Home

  • Remove or secure items that could be hazardous, such as electrical cords, toxic plants, and small objects that can be swallowed.
  • Keep valuable items out of reach, as your new dog may chew on things out of curiosity or anxiety.

Gather Supplies

  • Have the necessary supplies ready, including food and water bowls, high-quality dog food, a leash and martingale collar with ID tags, grooming tools, and cleaning supplies for any accidents.

Establish a Routine

  • Dogs thrive on routine, so establish a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, and bathroom breaks. This helps your dog understand what to expect and reduces anxiety.

Gradual Introduction:

  • Introduce your dog to their new environment gradually. Allow them to explore their designated safe space first, and then slowly introduce them to other areas of your home.

Socialization

  •  Socialize your dog with family members, other pets, and visitors gradually and in a controlled manner. Watch for signs of stress or discomfort and proceed at a pace comfortable for your dog.  Pack walks together are a great way to introduce dogs. Keep them separate in your home as they get to know each other and feel safe around one another.
