Meet Meryl
This gorgeous puppy is currently growing, learning and enjoying life in foster care while we get to know their personality and gather more information about the home that will suit them best. They will be available VERY soon and we are now accepting applications to adopt. As they continue to develop, our recommendations regarding their ideal family, other pets and lifestyle may change.
Puppies are a wonderful addition to the family, but they are also a significant commitment. They require ongoing training, socialisation, exercise, enrichment and guidance to help them grow into happy, well-adjusted adult dogs. Like all babies, they will need patience and company while learning toilet training, appropriate manners and how to navigate the world.
If you think you could provide a loving, committed home for this or any of our puppies, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit an adoption application and, if you’re a suitable match, a member of our Puppy Team will be in touch once we have gathered all the information needed to find this puppy their perfect forever home.
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.
