Meet Mr Charlie
Hi I’m Mr Charlie! I was a refuge puppy who has been returned due to family circumstances, luckily my last family really loved me and raised me to be the bestest of boys.
I am an adolescent who is excitable, I grew up with kids as young as 4, but still knocked them over accidentally as I forgot that I grew bigger than them! For that reason I am better suited to kids 8+ as I loveeee children but just need them to be a bit sturdier.
I have only had good reports from my last home: I am toilet trained, I settle into full time hours alone, I love my daily walks and runs, I love all people and could even live with a doggy sibling (I must have opportunities to interact with other doggies in my new home!)
I will make your life very happy and full of laughter, please enquire about me today!
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.
