Meet Jj
Meet JJ!
JJ is a sensitive young boy who needs experienced owners who have owned fearful dogs before and can commit to his ongoing training to help continue to build his confidence. He is a sweet boy who struggles with meeting new people initially, but his amazing foster carers have made great progress with him in the home and his confidence is blossoming every day!
JJ is looking for a home with a resident dog who is confident and well-socialised to help guide him in the home and to mirror appropriate behaviours from.
JJ could go home with kids 8+ so long as parents are always able to supervise interactions.
Come meet JJ today <3

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.
