Can you bring a puppy back to their first/foster home for visit?

My parents got a Goldendoodle this past December but, due to my Mom's extensive health issues, they weren't able to take care of him the way he deserved. My husband and I happily adopted him into our home this past weekend and he's been adjusting really well and settling in nicely. After having him in their home for a month, my parents obviously miss him and would like us to visit with them in their home from time to time. We're wondering how long we should wait until we can bring him there for a visit. We don't want to confuse him, so does anyone know if there's a certain amount of time we should wait until bringing him back into the first home he was in after the breeder's? He was with them just over a month and has been with us for a week this Saturday. Should we wait a month? A year? Does it not make a difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi , I am actually going through that right now. i re homed a rescue i was fostering , and I'm giving myself atleast 30 days to give the dog time to adjust to new surroundings. We were very bonded and although he's close by I miss him terrible and I know he does too , so i think its only fair .

Your parents are part of your pups extended family and should visit them as often as you see fit. The first few months are a transition period for any rescued animal so giving them lots of socialiation and love will go a long way toward having a happy friendly pup. Best of luck to you
