Meet Tama
Tama is an enthusiastic and excited young boy who is desperate to find his way into a loving family home.
He will need an active lifestyle, consistently meeting his needs for Enrichment, family time, exercise and opportunities to play with Dog friends.
Training classes or 1-on-1 sessions are an absolute MUST, he has missed out this boy and needs to build a foundation of basic obedience and manners.
Although he can be a little over excited and boisterous he is the sweetest Dog who just wants to please and be involved in the fun & games.
Tama will respond well with consistently having his needs met, training guidance and a loving family spending time with him.
He may suit a home with older sturdy kids and / or another well matched Doggy sibling.
This awesome boy deserves the best life.
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.
