Meet Sonny
Sonny is a sweet and sensitive young pup looking for a patient family to help him discover that the world isn’t such a scary place. Having arrived at the refuge with his brothers, Sonny is still building confidence but beneath his cautious exterior is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves his food and enjoys spending time with people he trusts.
Sonny will thrive in a calm home that can provide positive training, enrichment, and plenty of reassurance as he settles in. He’ll enjoy sniffy adventures, training games, and quiet outings while he learns about the world at his own pace. As a social young dog who has grown up with his brothers, Sonny may greatly benefit from going home with a friendly, confident canine companion who can help guide him through the transition into family life.
For the right family willing to invest in his confidence, Sonny promises to be an incredibly rewarding companion to watch grow and flourish.
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.
