Meet Ollie
At just seven months old, Ollie is a sweet little man with enormous potential who is looking for a patient home to help build his confidence. As a young puppy, Ollie hasn’t yet had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of people, dogs and environments, so he can be a little unsure of new situations and will benefit from owners who are happy to take things at his pace, continue his training and provide him with a crate, which he loves as his safe space. Ollie enjoys the company of well-matched small dogs and may love a confident canine companion, while a calm home with older children would suit him best. This affectionate little boy loves nothing more than cuddling up with his people, especially if there’s room for him on the bed, and with a little guidance and encouragement, he’s sure to become 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.
