Meet Terry
Meet Terry, a lovely older gentleman with a playful side & plenty of personality! Terry enjoys getting out for sniffy adventures and has shown us some lovely social skills with other dogs, happily making friends with dogs big & small.
Terry loves a game of tug and would enjoy a family who can continue some fun, positive training with him. He can be quite strong on lead, so brushing up on his leash skills will also be helpful.
At 8 years young, Terry is looking for a calmer home where he can enjoy shorter adventures, plenty of sniffing & lots of time relaxing with his people. He may be suitable to live with a well-matched dog pending further meets.
Terry would love a family who can spoil him in his golden years while helping him build confidence, connection & all the joys of being a much-loved family 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.
