So You Want To
Adopt Your New Best Friend

By adopting a pet from us, you are not only saving the pets life but also allowing us to save another animal in a rural pound, shelter or who would otherwise not have another chance.

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT HOLD ANY ANIMALS, YOU MUST BE READY TO ADOPT NOW.

OUR PROCESS

We appreciate you wanting to bring a dog into your home. In order for us to find the right dog for you, we need you to submit an adoption application. If you are after a particular dog, please list their name in the adoption application.

Review

We will review your application upon receipt. If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact you for clarity. If successful our foster carer will be in touch within 24-48 hours however this may take longer if there are multiple applications for the one dog.

Meet & Greet

3

A 'Meet & Greet' with the animal and their carer will then take place. You must bring your current dog along to the meet and greet if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption. All meet & greets must take place within 7 days, we do not offer meet and greet extensions.

Once approved to adopt, we will then send you the paperwork to complete before taking your new dog home. The animal MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGED (travelling over a 4 hr round trip), we will NOT ACCEPT the animal to be taken on the day if less then 2 days notice is given. If prior arrangement is made, an adoption agreement/s and payment must be made before collection of the animal.
