Things you will need to have prepared for coming home day:

• A medium size black wire collapsible crate and have 2/3's of it blocked off with a heavy cardboard box so pup only has a front small area to sleeping in [just enough room to lay down...no extra room]....plus a large heavy dark blanket as a complete cover for the crate. 
• Also, a hard body plastic crate for travel in the car so people outside cannot see what type of valuable dog is in the car.   Use old towels for bedding (no fancy new bed for quite a while).    
• A supply of newspapers for indoor go potty area when contained to one place as necessary.
• An engraved ID tag with only your first name and phone number on one side and word 'REWARD' on the reverse side. 
• Only stainless feeding bowls (that can go in the dishwasher). 
• Also, take a look around your home and figure out where there can be some type of contained play area where the flooring will not be hurt if the pup has accidents.  [Do not let puppy on any carpeting or rugs until well trained and even then only when being supervised. ] 
• You will need a 6 to 10-foot long leash. No use of extendable leashes - they are too dangerous and lots of bad training habits result from using same. 
• A small Martindale collar for learning go for a walk; and in the very beginning, the pup can use a small harness and 6 to 10 ft. leash - but later it needs to walk nicely on just a collar and leash. Long-term use of a harness just teaches a dog to get out front and pull...that is a very bad habit. 
• Basic grooming supplies
