Meet Everest
Everest is a sweet and sensitive girl who may take a little time to come out of her shell. She has a beautiful gentle nature and is affectionate once she feels safe and comfortable with you.
This clever girl is smart and eager to learn. She enjoys long, sniffy walks where she can explore her surroundings at her own pace and take in all the interesting smells the world has to offer.
Everest is looking for a patient and kind family who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to build confidence. In return, she has the potential to become the most loyal and loving companion, forming a beautiful bond with the people she trusts.
Everest enjoys the company of other dogs and could happily live with older children who understand the importance of giving her space and allowing her to settle in at her own pace.
If you’re willing to take things slowly and let Everest blossom in her own time, you may just find an incredibly loyal best friend waiting for you.
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.
