Meet Whiskey (was Hugo)
Meet Hugo C. This lovely boy arrived into our care recently and is feeling quite overwhelmed by all of the noise and change. Hugo remains a lovely and sweet doggo and deserves a family who can help him feel safe and spoilt. Hugo would love more company in the beginning to help him adjust and feel comfortable in his new home. Part time or flexible work hours preferred for this boy to settle him in appropriately. Hugo could live with calm and respectful teens 13+ who can handle him gently and use predictable touch. Hugo needs a quieter home and setting overall and would love the help of one of our recommended 1-on-1 trainers to assist with his confidence around other dogs. Hugo is a beautiful boy and will make a loving addition in his next home. Come and meet Hugo today.
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.
