Meet Simba
Meet Simba – a super sweet, playful girl with a big heart! She needs a family who will be committed to setting her up for success and providing her with a forever home full of love and gentle guidance.
She’s a clever, affectionate girl who’s looking for an experienced home to show her the joys of family life. Simba would love a doggy brother who can help show her the ropes and keep her company when her people are away. She does need a bit of training to master her life skills but Simba is the most willing student who just loves to learn and spend time with her people. (The snacks help too)
She’s best suited to a home with dog-savvy kids aged 10+, and part time workers initially. With time, love, and patient training, Simba will make a wonderful, affectionate and rewarding 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.
