Meet Toffie (was Pudgy)
Pudgy is a sweet, affectionate young puppy who has made the big journey from Geraldton to Perth in search of her forever family. She absolutely loves people and enjoys seeking out affection and interaction from her handlers.
Like many young puppies, Pudgy is still learning about the world around her. New environments, unfamiliar dogs and busy locations can sometimes make her feel a little unsure, but with patience, encouragement and positive experiences she continues to gain confidence every day.
Pudgy is playful, food motivated and eager to learn. She enjoys toys, interactive games and spending time with both people and dog friends. She would thrive in a home committed to continuing her positive training and helping her build confidence at her own pace.
With appropriate guidance, enrichment and plenty of love, Pudgy is shaping up to be a wonderful companion who will reward her new family with endless affection, fun and loyalty.
Pudgy could live with a well-matched dog and children 8+ confident with boisterous puppies, pending meets.
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.
