Our process

We have a process to help ensure our pups go to the right homes for them.

If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, please click on their profile to find out more.

You will need to complete an Expression of Interest Form. We do NOT accept applications via text, Facebook or phone.
If you are the successful applicant, we will be in touch to arrange a property inspection and a meet and greet to ensure it's the right fit for you and your family as well as for the dog.
If that all goes well, then you can take the dog on a two-week trial period.
