Meet Ghost
Ghost is a beautiful senior lady looking for a very special home to give her all the love and TLC she deserves. She is a gentle, soft-natured girl who is ready to leave backyard life behind and discover what it means to be a truly included member of the family.
Ghost enjoys her walks and would love a family who can take her on daily sniffy adventures, spend quality time playing and relaxing with her, and include her in their everyday lifestyle. She has even enjoyed water and the beach in the past!
While Ghost can initially be a little timid in stressful or unfamiliar environments, she will approach for affection once she feels comfortable. She is an independent lady who appreciates having her own space at times, so patient people who will listen to her communication and let her develop trust at her own pace will suit her beautifully.
At this stage of her life, Ghost would love to be someone’s absolute #1 doggo and is looking for an only-dog home where she can soak up all the attention for herself. A calmer lifestyle with plenty of companionship, gentle daily adventures and a cosy place inside with her people would be her dream.
This will be a big lifestyle change for Ghost, so her new family will need to give her plenty of time to decompress and adjust without expecting too much too soon. With patience, kindness and inclusion, Ghost has all the ingredients to be a wonderful companion.
After everything this lovely senior girl has experienced, it’s time for Ghost to have the very best.
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.
