Meet Pachi
Hello working dog lovers! My name is Pachi, a young cattle dog who is looking for experienced owners to be my new people 🙂 I can be shy at first but warm up quickly, the kennels are loud and scary so my next home needs to be calmer for my peace of mind.
I will need daily walks and training sessions to keep my mind occupied, I can settle into full time hours once I have had my exercise needs met.
I have lived with a dog and would love to do so again, I love other dogs but can herd (and nip) if my instincts kick in so my dog friends need to be confident and understanding hehe.
I have could go home with dog savvy, calm kids 10+ pending a meet as I have lived with a kid before.
If you are looking for someone to keep you company on your adventure, I am the one for you!
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.
