Meet Scout
Scout is a fun, energetic and social young dog who loves engaging with both people and other dogs. He has a playful nature and shows lots of enthusiasm, though he will benefit from guidance to help him learn polite interactions and self-control.
Scout is best suited to an active home that can provide him with plenty of company, exercise, enrichment and ongoing training. He will thrive with owners who are committed to helping him build confidence, independence and appropriate social skills.
Scout may be suitable for children aged 10 years and over who are comfortable around an energetic and excitable young dog.
With time, patience and the right support, Scout has great potential to grow into a rewarding and affectionate 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.
