Meet Pocky
Pocky is a sweet, affectionate and bouncy terrier cross who enjoys exploring her environment, interacting with people and receiving attention. She demonstrated appropriate social interactions with other nice dogs but was comfortable maintaining her own space rather than matching other dogs higher play style. Pocky would benefit from a home that appreciates her individual social preferences and provides her with plenty of love, companionship and opportunities to explore.
She could be a lovely companion for an individual, an older adopter or a family with respectful children 8+. While she may enjoy living with a suitable canine companion, she does not necessarily need another dog to be happy and could thrive as the centre of attention in a loving 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.
