Meet Brioche
Meet Brioche! 🐻🤎
Brioche is a lovable, oversized teddy bear with a heart just as big as he is! This affectionate boy adores people, loves cuddles, enjoys adventures, and would happily join an active family for hikes, enrichment, trick training or even dog sports. He’s social with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion pending a successful meet.
Brioche has lived with young kids before, but his favourite way to say hello is with an enthusiastic bear hug, so we’re looking for a home with robust children aged 5 years and over, where parents are committed to supervising interactions and continuing his positive training. If you’re the kind of family who doesn’t mind a big dog asking for cuddles, you’ll likely find this one of Brioche’s most charming qualities-and he’ll reward you with endless love and plenty of laughs! 🧸❤️
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.
