We are picking up our puppy tomorrow night. Because of COVID-19 they can't fly her to us. She will have had a long two day trip. What do you think I need to bring and what is the best way to great her? She is 5 months old. We are going to pick her up between 11 PM and 3 AM.

Well, it makes sense that you are confused because it is confusing how she is getting to us! She is coming on bus - a service called Puppy Travelers- she will have her crate with her. I have a leash, a color chew toys and treats. I am just wondering what I can do to comfort her after a very long trip. We live in CA and she is coming from MO. They would send her on an airplane but can't because of COVID-19. That is a great tip about something that smells like her mom/litter. I hope the breeder sent that.

If the breeder is bringing her to you, and you are meeting somewhere off your property, then all you will need is a crate, unless the breeder is leaving the one she is traveling in.

If you are going to go pick her up, you will need a crate and lots of cleaning supplies, as well as a secure leash and collar. The breeder should give you some food and the water she is used to drinking, as well as a soft toy or something that is familiar to her, and carried her dam's and littermates' scent.
