Meet Ezekiel
Meet Ezekiel! This gentle boy may be a little shy at first, but give him time to get to know you, and you’ll discover a sweet, affectionate companion with so much love to give. Once he feels comfortable, Ezekiel will reward you with loyalty, affection and a special bond that will make him a wonderful addition to the family.
Ezekiel is looking for a calm, predictable home where he can settle in at his own pace. He would love a patient family who will help him build his confidence, gently introduce him to new experiences and show him all the amazing things life has to offer. He can live with children aged 13+ and shows positive interest in other dogs!
The way to Ezekiel’s heart is definitely through his tummy! He is very food-motivated, giving him plenty of potential to learn and grow with gentle, reward-based training. With patience, kindness and a little encouragement, Ezekiel has all the makings of a devoted and loving best friend.

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.
