Meet Rolf
Meet Rolf, a gorgeous pup with long legs, a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm!
Rolf is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves being close to his people, following them around the house before curling up for a well-earned snooze.
He’s an energetic youngster who loves to run, chase, wrestle and play, and he’s already shown us how much fun he can have with the right doggy friends. Rolf is still learning how to manage all that puppy excitement, so his new family will need to continue helping him develop his manners, frustration tolerance and appropriate play through positive, reward-based training.
Rolf would love an active family with plenty of time for him, particularly while he learns that being apart from his favourite humans is okay. Puppy classes are a must and will be a fantastic way to continue his training and socialisation.
With plenty of cuddles, positive guidance, adventures and appropriate outlets for those houndy instincts, Rolf has all the makings of a wonderfully fun family companion.
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.
