Browse available dogs online and then complete the "Adoption Application". 

We need to talk to you and get a feel for your home, lifestyle and why you are looking to rescue and rehome one of our dogs.

 

Step 3) MEET & GREET

Once we find you a doggy match we need to introduce him/ her to all members of your family, including other dogs and cats!

ADOPTION PROCESS 

​

To commence the adoption process we require:

  • Photo ID with your address on it – so we know you are who you say you are

  • Adequate funds for – adoption fee; any beds, leads, collars, dog food or other items you need to make your dog comfy in his or her new home. All dogs must leave with a flat collar and lead.

 

Please understand that a pet is a responsibility that you are agreeing to take on for

the lifetime of the pet.
