Meet Odetta
Odetta is a delightful young girl with plenty of enthusiasm for life and learning. At only 10 months old, she is still finding her feet in the world and can sometimes be a little shy or inexperienced with new things, but underneath is a very sweet and playful adolescent with lots of potential.
She is wonderfully food motivated and will thrive with a gentle family who enjoys positive, reward-based training and can make learning fun. Odetta would love plenty of sniffy adventures, play, enrichment and opportunities to explore the world at a comfortable pace.
She appears social with other dogs and may enjoy having a suitable male dog companion, pending successful meets. Positive catch-ups with friendly dogs would also be a lovely way to continue developing her confidence and social skills as she matures.
Odetta is looking for a patient, fun-loving family who understands that young dogs need time, guidance and reassurance while they settle into a new home. With gradual exposure to new experiences and plenty of positive reinforcement, she should have lots of potential to blossom into a confident and wonderful 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.
