Meet Alfie
Meet Alfie, our big, beautiful Staffy boy with an even bigger personality! This happy, enthusiastic lad loves exploring the great outdoors, following his nose, splashing around in water and enjoying some gentle affection from his favourite people. He’s a social boy who has been making some lovely doggy friends and would love a family who can keep the adventures coming!
Alfie is looking for an active home with confident, capable owners who are comfortable with a large, strong and sometimes boisterous boy. He’ll thrive with plenty of sniffy walks, fun enrichment activities and ongoing positive training to help him polish his manners. Alfie may also enjoy sharing his home with a suitably matched canine companion, pending meets. With the right guidance and plenty of love, this big sweetheart will make a wonderful adventure buddy!

How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
