Meet Heidi
Heidi is a big, enthusiastic American Staffordshire Terrier with a fun-loving personality and plenty of affection to give. She enjoys meeting people and dogs, approaches life with excitement, and is always keen to be involved in whatever is happening around her.
Like many young dogs, Heidi is still learning how to navigate the world calmly and can become a little overexcited at times. She will benefit from ongoing positive training and patient guidance to help her channel her enthusiasm into appropriate behaviours.
Heidi has shown lovely social skills with other dogs and appears to genuinely enjoy canine company. Once fully recovered from surgery, she may greatly benefit from suitable dog friendships and social opportunities.
With patient owners who can provide guidance, enrichment, and ongoing training, Heidi has all the potential to mature into a wonderful companion. She is a sweet, social girl who is sure to thrive in the right home.
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.
