Meet Chook
Chook is a sweet, sensitive young Catahoula looking for a patient family who will give him the time he needs to settle in and build confidence. While he can be quite shy when meeting new people, once he feels safe and comfortable his affectionate personality shines through and he becomes a very cuddly companion.
One of Chook’s standout qualities is his love of other dogs. He has shown consistently friendly and playful social skills during assessments and appears to gain a great deal of confidence from canine companionship. He enjoys spending time near other dogs and may thrive in a home with a suitable dog friend.
As an active working breed mix, Chook will need regular exercise and enrichment to keep both his body and mind engaged. With patience, positive guidance, and plenty of opportunities to build confidence, Chook has the potential to become a wonderful and loyal family companion.
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.
