Meet Rock
Meet Rock, a giant squishy Shar Pei with an even bigger heart!
This handsome boy is looking for a Shar Pei-savvy family who can appreciate his quirky nature and give him the time he needs to build a bond. Once you’re in his circle, Rock is an affectionate, loyal companion who loves nothing more than spending time with his people.
Rock could live with a calm, respectful dog who understands his need for both play and personal space, or he may be happy as an only dog if given regular opportunities to socialise. He enjoys his daily walks and would love nothing more than a long sniffy adventure with his favourite doggy friends.
After losing the family he loved, Rock may need a little time to settle into a new home and learn that he’s safe and secure again. In return, you’ll gain a giant sook who is ready to spend the rest of his days being absolutely adored.
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.
