Meet Bryan
Bryan is an intelligent, energetic boy looking for an active family who can keep up with his love of exploring and enjoy plenty of long, sniffy walks together.
When Bryan first meets new people or arrives somewhere unfamiliar, he may take a little time to feel comfortable and get used to his surroundings. But once he gets to know you and realises he’s safe, his playful personality really starts to shine! His affectionate side comes out, and you’ll discover a sweet boy who loves building a special bond with his people.
Bryan would thrive with patient and understanding owners who are willing to give him the time and space he needs to settle in. Regular training sessions will not only help him learn and build confidence, but also create a wonderful bond between Bryan and his new family.
Bryan’s intelligence, playful nature and affectionate personality are sure to bring plenty of fun, companionship and joy to his new home.
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.
