1. Please arrive at the airport before your German Shepherd puppy is scheduled to arrive, and go to the live cargo pick-up area for the traveling airline. This spot is different in many airports and it is good practice to call the regional airport ahead of time to find out this location.

2. Bring with you the shipping information and two forms of identification.

3. You may also want to bring a bottle of water, a blanket or towel, and something super tasty like boiled chicken pieces, cheese, or other meat pieces. Your German Shepherd puppy may be very hungry and thirsty or not hungry or thirsty at all. Do not be alarmed if either happens. Once your German Shepherd puppy gets home and adjusted into its own new bed (you may want to continue to use the crate) with new toys and the same food and familiar blanket, your German Shepherd puppy should start eating and playing normally. If the puppy is not eating much, mix rice or chicken and add it to the dry food your German Shepherd puppy came with. Do not over-feed your German Shepherd puppy human foods which may lead to digestive discomfort.

4. The first thing you do when you take the puppy out is to take it to the closest grassy spot ASAP. THEN give your German Shepherd much love and tender care. Contact LittleLindas to let us know that your puppy has arrived safely.
