Meet Kahu
Kahu is a energetic and affectionate young dog with plenty of personality. He enjoys spending time with people and can form lovely friendships with well-matched dogs.
Kahu will thrive in an experienced home where his guardians can understand his body language, support his enthusiasm and provide plenty of positive enrichment, learning and rest.
He may be suited to a home with children aged 13+, depending on a successful meet and overall household fit.
With patient, reward-based guidance, appropriate enrichment and carefully matched dog friends, Kahu has wonderful potential to become a happy, engaging and rewarding companion.
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.
