Meet Yagen
Meet Yagan! This handsome boy is your typical blockhead who adores his people and isn’t shy about showing it! He’s a strong, enthusiastic boy who sometimes forgets just how big he is, but underneath it all is just a sweet, snuggly softie who wants to be loved.
Yagan is looking for a home where he can be the centre of attention and enjoy being someone’s one and only! He’d love confident, capable humans who can help him polish up his manners with plenty of patience, positive reinforcement and a good sense of humour. A home with older teenagers 16+ would suit him best. With some guidance, fun adventures and plenty of couch cuddles, Yagan is ready to be someone’s favourite oversized lapdog!

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.
