Here are a few tips that are essential for you and your puppy
Puppy food (the same kind that he's used to). A food bowl and a water bowl
Many toys (including a ball that's large enough not to get wedged in his throat --- never a golf ball!). MANY TOYS! Something soft to chew on and pull (An old hand towel with a knot tied in the middle works well).
A cardboard box (no top, just 3 sides) that he can curl up in on his blanket or a towel so that he can snuggle down and feel safe. His own kennel would be much better, this could be temporary.
GET THE PUPPY IN THE MORNING so he can begin to get comfortable in his new home in the daylight.

(Think about how the puppy feels: shocked and afraid, carried off by strangers, away from his mother and everything he's ever known, alone in a terrifying new world. He needs compassion and support.)
Bring his blanket with you, so that he can be on your lap or next to you in the car going home. Help him begin to feel safe, confident, and wanted.
