Meet Sunny
Meet Sunny – a sweet, gentle boy who just needs a little time and reassurance to shine. Sunny can be shy at first, but with patience and a calm approach, he warms up beautifully and enjoys cuddles and gentle affection.
Sunny loves having a doggy friend and gains a lot of confidence from polite, playful dogs. He’s not quite ready for dog parks yet, but he’ll happily enjoy relaxed 1 on 1 playdates with a well-matched friendly doggy.
He could live with dog-savvy kids aged 8+ who understand he may need space sometimes and who won’t overhandle him. With a supportive home, Sunny will grow into a loving, loyal companion who thrives on gentle encouragement and routine.
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.
