Meet Lala
Lala was moving around for many months before an extended pound stay then arriving at our Home. She understandably wasn’t a fan of kennel life but after 5 weeks in foster care she received glowing feedback and blossomed into a loving velcro dog.She will need a little help her to learn to walk nicely on the lead and a positive reinforcement trainer would be highly recommended to help get her new owners off on the right foot.
Lala will likely need a 2 week decompression period to settle into her new home. Prolonged periods of high stress levels (kennel life) has done her no favours so she may need a little help settling in.
Lala can be shy of new people and needs predictable movement and handling, polite kids 13+ best, 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.
