Meet McBoy
Meet McBoy the sweet sensitive boy who arrived to our care all the way from Newman.
This boy is not a fan of the stressful Refuge environment and would love to get out to quiet place where he finally could relax and catch up with much needed sleep.
This boy is very sweet and sensitive, loves affection and always looks for reinsurance from his person.
McBoy can be a bit scared of other dogs but he used to live with a bunch of his dog friends without any issues. He just needs time to feel safe again.
He will do best going home to rural, semirural areas but may settle well in a quiet suburban home.
He is suitable for family with older dog savvy kids and part timers.
Meet him in Refuge.

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.
