Meet Jacqui
Jacqui is a beautiful puppy with a gentle, affectionate nature and a lovely balance of playful energy and cuddly companionship. She is incredibly social, loves meeting new people and enjoys being close to her humans. Jacqui has settled well with the resident dog in foster care and would thrive in a family environment where she can continue building positive social experiences with friendly dogs and people.
Like many young puppies, Jacqui is still learning appropriate play skills and can become a little mouthy when excited, so she will benefit from ongoing positive reinforcement training and puppy classes. She is not yet toilet trained and currently finds being alone difficult, so her new family will need time and patience to support her through this important developmental stage.
Jacqui would suit a loving home committed to enrichment, companionship and helping her grow into a confident, happy adult dog.
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.
