Meet Gloria
Are you freshly retired, working from a quiet office, or do you have the means to quit your job and completely dedicate your life to a devilishly beautiful diva dog? Then Gloria may just be the perfect girl for you.
This long-haired lovely has the makings of a fabulous Hollywood star, floating through life with all the poise and grace of true royalty. She’s smart, relaxed, and absolutely refuses to be left alone demanding your complete, undivided commitment. Naturally, her majesty will not accept sharing her home with another canine, though a few strolls a week with polite, similarly classy dogs is fine.
Famously fussy with her food, she is simply too fabulous for a tin. Gloria will only eat the finest gourmet cuisine, so please only apply if you are willing to order premium fresh meals or hand cook her dinners. If you are ready to cater to a royal star, Gloria would suit a quiet home with an individual, couple, or family with older teenagers ready to adore her.

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.
