Meet Sabo
Sabo is a sweet, sensitive young boy who is still learning about the big wide world. Found wandering with his brother, he’s had a limited start to life, so new environments can feel a little overwhelming at first. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, his true personality begins to shine.
Once comfortable, Sabo shows off his playful, bouncy side and loves engaging in typical puppy fun. He forms strong bonds with his people and will happily stick close by their side, finding comfort in their presence.
Sabo would be best suited to a home with older children (13+) who can respect his space and gentle nature. A friendly, well-matched dog companion in the home would be ideal to help build his confidence.
He is looking for a calm, understanding home that will allow him to build confidence at his own pace. With ongoing positive training and support, he has all the makings of a loyal and loving 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.
