Meet Buggy
Buggy is a sweet, sensitive boy who has had a rough start in life but is now ready to blossom in the right home. Once he feels safe, Buggy’s affectionate and playful side shines through-he loves the company of other dogs and thrives with a canine companion by his side.
He can be a little anxious around new people, but with calm introductions and patience, Buggy shows his goofy, wiggly self. He enjoys gentle walks, yard play, and games that let him build confidence at his own pace.
Buggy is looking for a dog-savvy home where he can continue learning that the world is a safe place. With the right people and a well-matched dog friend, he will make a loving, loyal companion who just needs time and kindness to flourish.
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.
