Meet Jerry
Jerry is a fearful young pooch who came with his siblings in search of a better life.
He needs a calm household with a polite dog friend he can bond with and build confidence around.
It will be some time before he comes out of his shell and lives a somewhat “normal” life in terms of going for walks and seeking out human affection, but with patience and structure, things may improve. Jerry is curious, and we’re hoping this curiosity proves to be an asset as he bonds with his new family.
If you have a calm, quiet lifestyle and are looking to help a dog become the best version of himself, please ask about Jerry today.
Jerry could go with mature teens 16+, pending a meet.
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.
