Meet Bluey Now Nina
Bluey is a scardey little Chi who wants a quiet, calm home where she can feel safe, secure and become a companion dog.
She will need time to settle in, becoming familiar with everything new and bonding with her humans.
At this stage her priority will be her home environment rather than her walks / outings which she will not be ready for until the fully settled in.
She does need to learn how to walk on a lead, basic obedience practise at home will help bonds and trust with her owners too.
Bluey may get along with other small breed Doggo’s in time if they are polite and at her own pace.
She deserves to have the best most relaxing home setup where she can be loved and fulfil her destiny as a companion dog.
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.
