Gorgeous is a sweet and sensitive young girl who is looking for a patient family to show her that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. Having had very limited life experience before arriving with us, everyday things are still very new to her, and she will need time to find her feet.

Although initially very shy, Gorgeous is beginning to show her curious side and, as her confidence grows, we hope to see more of her affectionate and playful personality emerge.

Gorgeous needs a **calm, quiet and secure home with patient, experienced owners** who won’t rush her and will celebrate her progress at her own pace. She **must go home with a calm, confident and friendly dog** who can provide companionship and help show her the ropes.

She isn’t ready for regular walks just yet, so her new family will need to be comfortable taking things slowly while she learns about life beyond the home.

Gorgeous may be suitable for **mature teenagers aged 16+**, pending a successful meet and provided they understand her need for gentle, respectful interactions and plenty of space.

For a family willing to give her the time and patience she deserves, watching Gorgeous discover her confidence and learn to enjoy her new life will be incredibly rewarding.

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.

Our dogs are ready to meet you!
