Meet Hope
Hope is a gorgeous 5-month-old puppy who has already overcome more than most dogs her age. After living with her owners in a tent, she unfortunately ended up in the pound before coming into our care, where she was initially recovering from a bout of gastrointestinal illness. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery and is now healthy, happy, and ready to find the loving forever home she truly deserves.
Hope is an affectionate, social and incredibly sweet young girl with a bright future ahead of her. Like any puppy, she is full of enthusiasm and loves meeting people, although she can sometimes become a little overwhelmed by new experiences. With patient, positive guidance and plenty of confidence-building, Hope is going to blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion.
Hope MUST live with a confident doggy brother to show her the ropes in her new home.
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.
