Hi Nareem.....
Well, here's my two cents worth.
When I brought my dog, Coco, home for the first time, there was definitly an "adjustment period" that she went through. Like your dog, Coco went through an initial phase of not being interested in her food. She laid on the sofa and looked rather glum.
It could be that your dog is just "getting used to things", and will come around in time.
You didn't mention the age of your dog....if it's an older furbaby, I might be more worried about a possible health problem.
Regardless of anything, though, I always think that whenever you bring a new addition into the home, you should get a complete health workup for it from your vet.
Congrats on your new little one!

I agree with the previous poster...he is still adjusting. Give him time and he should be back to normal. If he doesn't start eating right in a couple of days you might want a vet to check on him.
