Meet Lyca (now Mango)
Lyca is a fun-loving, playful young girl with a zest for life. She loves to run and play and spend time with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for an active home. As she’s still young, she’s learning all about the world and would thrive with ongoing positive reinforcement training to build her confidence, manners and basic obedience. Lyca can be a little excitable and enthusiastic in her play, so she’d enjoy making more doggy friends who can continue to teach her appropriate social skills. She enjoys treats and is a quick learner once engaged, making training both rewarding and enjoyable. While she can be a unsure at first, she forms lovely bonds once she is comfortable. With plenty of daily exercise, mental enrichment, patience and guidance, Lyca has all the makings of a wonderful lifelong 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.
