Meet Scottie
Scottie is a friendly, affectionate young German Shepherd who absolutely loves being part of the action. He thrives on companionship and will happily stick close to his people, whether at home or out on adventures.
He’s a social boy who enjoys the company of other dogs and would love regular opportunities to walk or play with canine friends. Scottie is still learning his manners, but with the right guidance he is a bright and willing learner who is eager to please.
Scottie would suit an active family who understands the needs of his breed and is ready to include him as part of everyday life. With continued training and support, he will make a loyal and fun-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.
