Meet Zola
Zola is a loving, goofy girl who will quickly win you over with her big personality and even bigger heart. She can be wary of strangers but absolutely adores her people and is happiest when she’s playing tug, having a cuddle, or just hanging out by your side.
She’s full of quirky charm, including her funny “trancing” behaviour and her sensory way of interacting with the world. Zola brings a lot of joy and laughter to those around her.
Zola has been working hard on building her confidence and has made lovely progress. Zola is best suited to a home with older teens and part time workers. She is looking for a people that can continue guiding her and help her build al the skills she will need to navigate life with you. With the right support, she has so much potential to thrive.
She would love a home where she can get plenty of enrichment, and enjoy both playtime and downtime with her humans.
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.
