Meet Coco
Coco is a darling sweet girl who was abandoned at a property with her puppies. She has likely not had the benefit of good early socialisation, but has appeared sweet and receptive to food and affection when meeting hr first human friends at the Refuge.
Coco has done well meeting polite dog friends at the refuge, she needs a slow introduction with a well mannered dog friend. She is still quite cautious meeting new dogs and new people. It is very important new owners focus on giving her positive experiences in controlled manner with dog friends.
Coco will need a foster or adoptive home ready to take things at her pace, not expecting too much too soon. She has so much love to give <3

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.
