Meet Penzy
Penzy is a sweet Staffy girl who is waiting patiently for her furever home.
She is affectionate and cuddly once she knows you, she is timid in the kennel environment and does need a bit of time to relax into her new home once out.
This girl prefers the relaxing environment and a home without young kids bothering her although she has lived with young kids before she was not really wanting affection or attention from them.
Penzy has not shown much interest in wanting dog friends and prefers the company of her humans.
Suits a quiet home, needs her daily exercise and to be spoilt by her humans will make a great companion dog would do well with fit retired persons wanting a nice companion too.
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.
