Meet Ethan
Ethan & Smudge are Two 2 year old siblings who are looking for a quiet lifestyle where they can relaxed and be part of a loving home.
These two lack a fair bit of confidence and will need a calm routine where they are setup for success through gentle rewarding guidance and lots of patience.
Ethan is a little more confident than his brother Smudge, they come around and show more affection in time it will be important not to overwhelm them with too much too soon.
They are ok with nice polite Dogs but can easily rile each other up too so a bit of care needed here especially as they are finding their feet.
Ethan & Smudge will be the most loyal of family members once settled into a calm and reward home.
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.
