Meet Zeus
Zeus is a gentle little old man looking for a peaceful retirement home where he can spend his days exactly how he loves them-curled up beside his favourite person. Surrendered through no fault of his own after the passing of his owner, Zeus has spent his life as a much-loved companion and lap dog. He is affectionate, easy-going and happiest when sharing quiet moments with the people he loves.
At 15 years of age, Zeus is looking for a calm family who will cherish him through his golden years. While he may have some age-related medical needs, his sweet nature shines through and he still enjoys short strolls and exploring at his own leisurely pace. If you’re looking for a devoted companion to share the couch with, Zeus could be the perfect addition to your family.
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.
