Meet Teddy
Teddy is a sweet boy with plenty of classic terrier personality packed into his little body! Energetic, affectionate and full of potential, Teddy has already shown that he loves being close to his people and can make a lovely little lap dog once he’s comfortable.
He’ll need patient humans who can gently teach him the ropes, including continuing his toilet training, building his confidence and providing plenty of appropriate outlets for his busy Jack Russell brain. Scent games, trick training, adventures and lots of sniffing would be right up his alley!
Other dogs can be a little overwhelming for Teddy at the moment. He would likely be happiest as the only dog, and with a family who can provide him with plenty of company.
This little guy hasn’t necessarily had all the opportunities he needed earlier in life, but with patience, positive guidance and plenty of appropriate adventures, Teddy is sure to become a wonderful 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.
