Meet Silly
Meet Silly! This gorgeous young Staffy has finished raising her 11 puppies and is ready for a fresh start of her own. She’s a sweet, affectionate and playful girl who loves spending time with her favourite people, enjoying adventures and making friends with other dogs. Silly would love to share her home with a well-matched male dog.
Silly has a sensitive side and can be unsure of some people, particularly men, so she’s looking for patient, understanding adopters who will give her the time and support she needs to build confidence and trust. Once she feels comfortable, she’s a loving and devoted companion with plenty of personality!
Silly would suit an experienced home with calm teenagers aged 13+, where her family can commit to ongoing positive training and helping her become her happiest, most confident self.

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.
