Meet Axel
Axel is a super sweet, wiggly boy who is always happy to see you! He’s very friendly, loves his pats, and will often grab a toy to show off when you come to say hello 🧸
He walks well on lead and enjoys a good sniff. Axel is playful and would love a home where he can enjoy adventures, games, and plenty of quality time with his people.
Axel has shown polite manners with other dogs and would enjoy social outings or perhaps a doggy sibling, pending meets. He would best suit a home with children 10+ and a secure yard, as he’ll need some time to settle in and feel safe before being left alone.
If you’re looking for a happy, playful companion to share your days with, Axel might just be your perfect match 💛
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.
