Meet Dexter
Dexter is a handsome Staffy who has loved being on foster but is now looking for his forever home!
This boy loves life and would love to adventure with you, he enjoys meeting new people at cafes, stretching his legs on hikes and at the beach, and loved running around the park with his foster pup sister.
Dexter can be over excited when meeting new doggy friends so best to slowly introduce friends to him. Once he is matched with a dog he loves to play and wrestle so a boisterous dog sister would be amazing for him in the home! We would strongly recommend he live with a dog sister in his next home so he can feel more settled when left alone.
May be suited to living with calm, confident, dog savvy kids 10+ pending a meet.
PT/WFH hours would be best for this sweet boy, he will make the best companion, please enquire about him today.
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.
