Meet Roxie
Meet Roxie! She is a sweet sensitive soul on the lookout for a fresh start. Roxie was much loved in her previous home and her owners only had good things to say about her.
She is looking for a quiet home with people who understand she needs time to get out of her shell. She is soft natured girl and requires gentle handling. When she feels comfortable with you she will greet you with happy body wag and run zoomies in to you, watch out! Has potential to live with calm, dog savvy teens 13+ pending a meet.
Roxie can be scared of other dogs, so a gentle owner who understands her social needs /limitations. She has made walking dog buddies in her last home, this was beneficial for her 🙂
She can cope with full time hours alone, pending a settling period.
If you think Roxie girl could be friend for you , come to Refuge and meet her.
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.
