Meet Kita
Kita is a lovely older girl with a playful side that’s impossible not to adore.
One of Kita’s favourite things is playing ball, and she is always happy to show off her skills. She also knows some basic cues including sit and down, and her love of food makes her an enjoyable dog to continue training with.
Kita has shown polite social skills during her assessments; she is equally content exploring her surroundings and doing her own thing.
Kita would thrive in a calm home where she can settle in at her own pace and build trust with her new family. She may take a little time to adjust to new people and environments, but with patience, understanding and plenty of positive experiences, she blossoms into a loyal and rewarding companion.
If you’re looking for a mature dog who still enjoys a game of fetch, appreciates a quiet lifestyle and is ready to enjoy her next chapter, Kita may be the perfect match.
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.
