Meet Pablo
Pablo is a bright, affectionate little Dachshund looking for a family who understands his breed and will appreciate everything that makes him special. He loves food, enjoys using his nose and will thrive with enrichment games, gentle adventures and plenty of positive interaction.
Like many Dachshunds, Pablo has a big personality packed into a small body. He can be vocal, clever and independent, but forms strong bonds with his people. He is looking for a family who will respect his physical limitations, provide gentle handling and continue helping him build confidence around new experiences.
With patience, understanding and plenty of positive reinforcement, Pablo is expected to become a loyal and loving companion who will bring lots of character into his new 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.
