Meet Lilo
Lilo is a sweet girl who can be a bit on the nervous side. She will need a calm, patient and loving family to help her settle and build her confidence in her new life. We would love for her new people to spoil her rotten, whilst being mindful of her weight. She will need at least 1 hr of exercise plus mental enrichment such as Kongs, licki mats, or training games each day. She is a bit more of an independent doggo and loves a sniff, but will push her head in for cuddles with her favourite people and can be such a snuggly lady! Lilo is suitable for full time workers provided she is given an appropriate settling in period. Lilo may be able to live with older kids 13+ as she needs a more quiet home environment.
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.
