Meet Chuck (now Sunny)
Chuck is a medium sized scruffy mixed breed boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Potentially with some working breed influences like Heeler, Terrier, or Pointer, Chuck is a clever and active young dog who absolutely loves making friends with both humans and dogs alike.
This sweet boy is incredibly affectionate, eager to please, and always ready for fun. He loves social walks, play sessions with dog friends, training games, and exploring the world through sniffy adventures. Chuck would thrive in an active home that enjoys getting outdoors and involving their dog in daily activities.
Chuck has shown lovely social skills with other dogs overall and particularly enjoys playful canine interactions. He would likely love regular playdates, group training classes, and ongoing social outings with known dog friends.
He is still very much a young dog with some puppy behaviours, including excitement jumping and getting a little over enthusiastic at times, but he is a very clever boy who responds beautifully to positive reinforcement and food rewards.
Chuck is looking for a fun, patient, and loving family who can continue guiding him into adulthood while embracing all the joy and enthusiasm he brings.
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.
