Meet Gaia
Gaia is a sweet and gentle 6-year-old girl who is ready for a fresh start. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with a bit of patience and kindness, her lovely personality really shines through.
Once she feels comfortable, Gaia shows her playful side and enjoys exploring her surroundings, going for relaxed walks, and spending time with her people. She has done well meeting other dogs and would enjoy calm canine friends for walks or companionship.
Gaia would thrive in a quieter home with older children (13+) who can give her the time and space she needs to settle in. A secure yard is a must to keep her safe.
If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion to grow with, Gaia could be your perfect match 💛
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.
