Meet Boof
Boof is a lovely, affectionate Staffy boy who forms strong bonds once he feels safe and comfortable with his people. While initially a little unsure in new situations, he quickly warms up and absolutely loves a cuddle once his confidence grows.
Boof enjoys exploring his environment, engaging with his handlers, and taking calm walks where he can sniff and take things at his own pace. He generally prefers avoiding conflict or overwhelming social interactions with other dogs and would likely be happiest in a quieter home where he can relax without social pressure from canine companions.
He is still learning some basic lead manners and confidence skills, but he is responsive to gentle guidance and easy to redirect. With patient owners who understand the importance of decompression and gradual adjustment, Boof has the potential to become a very rewarding companion.
Boof would suit a calm home environment with owners committed to ongoing confidence building, enrichment, and positive training support.
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.
