Lady is a sweet and sensitive young girl who is looking for a very special home to help her discover that the world isn’t such a scary place. Having had very limited life experience before arriving with us, she is still learning to trust new people and environments, but we are already seeing her confidence grow.

Once Lady feels comfortable, her affectionate side begins to shine through. She enjoys gentle pats, loves tasty treats and has started showing glimpses of her playful personality with zoomies and play bows.

Lady is looking for a **calm, quiet and secure home with patient, experienced owners** who will allow her to progress at her own pace. She **must go home with a calm, confident and friendly dog** who can provide companionship and help her feel safe as she explores her new life.

Lady isn’t ready for regular walks just yet and will need plenty of time to settle before gradually experiencing more of the outside world. Her new family should be prepared to take things slowly, celebrate the little wins and allow her confidence to develop without pressure.

Lady may be suitable for a home with **mature teenagers aged 16+**, pending a successful meet and provided they understand that she will need space and time to approach them when she is ready.

For the right family, helping Lady blossom into the affectionate, playful companion we know is hiding underneath will be an incredibly rewarding journey.

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.

Our dogs are ready to meet you!
