Meet Pupperoni
Puppy is looking for a fresh start where he can get all the TLC he deserves!
Puppy would love up to 1-1.5hrs of exercise and enrichment each day. This could look like a sniffy walk, play time, trainin games or enrichment. Puppy will need a decompression period before going to busy places or meeting new people/dogs.
Puppy has done well with dog friends since arriving, he would highly benefit from going home with another dog to help his confidence and social skills.
Puppy will need owners home more often than not, especially to start, he would do best with work from home or flexible workers at this stage. He is more likely to be able to do longer hours alone with another dog in the home.
Puppy is quite jumpy and mouthy when overwhelmed, older dog savy kids 13+, pending a meet.
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.
