Meet Sausage
Sausage is a big, beautiful softie with a sensitive heart and a wonderfully goofy young dog waiting to come out! Kennel life has been difficult for this sooky boy, but once he’s away from the noise, he becomes a happy, wiggly and affectionate companion.
Other dogs really seem to bring Sausage out of his shell, and we’d love to find him a home with a friendly canine companion who can help show him the ropes. He’ll need a quieter lifestyle to begin with, patient people and gentle adventures while he builds his confidence.
Sausage could go home with dog-savvy, calm teens 13+, and he’ll need a family who can offer part-time or flexible working arrangements while he settles in.
With plenty of love, positive guidance and time to find his feet, Sausage has so much potential to blossom.
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.
