How adoption works
Our goal is the right home, not the fastest adoption. Here's what to expect when adopting through the shelter.
- 1
Browse dogs
Discover shelter dogs one at a time. Saving doesn't reserve a dog — it just helps you think.
- 2
Like or shortlist
Save the dogs you'd like to consider. You can compare your shortlist later.
- 3
Send an enquiry
Tell us a little about your home and lifestyle. There's no obligation.
- 4
The team reviews suitability
Our team carefully reviews each enquiry to help find the right match.
- 5
Home & lifestyle check
A friendly conversation, follow-up questions and (where appropriate) a home check.
- 6
Meet or discuss the dog
Visit the dog in the shelter or foster home, or have a detailed chat about them.
- 7
Adoption decision & next steps
Once we're all confident it's the right match, we'll guide you through bringing your new dog home.
Adoption age policy
The shelter has an adoption age policy. Please check the current adoption requirements before applying — our team will confirm the details when you enquire.
A quick promise
Every enquiry helps the shelter learn more about the best possible home for each dog. We support adopters throughout the process, and after you take your dog home. If something isn't working, please contact us — we're on your side.
