  • Molly (F)

    Labrador Mix | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2020

    Such a sweet girl with so much love to give, but has somehow been consistently overlooked since arriving with us in 2021. She’s calm and observant, but equally enjoys a fuss and play. She enjoys the company of other dogs, but could equally thrive on her own or as a family dog. She’s ready to sunbathe in her garden and join in on country walks and adventures.

  • Denzel (M)

    Golden Retriever | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2021

    Does really well in the big dog pack, but not overly playful so best without boisterous other pups. He is very people oriented, so would love someone to shadow everyday! He'd suit someone who works from home or is retired, and able to give him lots of loving. More info and pics here!

  • Winter (M)

    Malamute | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2019

    Dreadfully handsome bloke who is friendly, active & energetic. Would love nothing more than to play in a yard with you all day, every day! Looking for a malamute experienced home only. Can be dog selective, as he is very dominant so best as a solo dog where he can solidify his rank in his forever home as top dog!

  • Claudia (F)

    Golden Retriever | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2015

    This beautiful mature lady is looking for a calm forever home where she can sunbathe her days away. Dog friendly but happily independent, people friendly, loves attention and is food motivated. She had a benign breast tumor which was successfully removed, so she just needs regular check ups. We're looking for a loving home for her. More pics and info here!

  • Dennie (F)

    Shepherd mix | DOB Estimate: 10/10/2018

    Dennie needs a home with lots of sun and sofa time. She isn't overly energetic, but could manage a mild active life. She's more about the downtime and observing. She does well with dogs. She is a very timid, sweet, quiet girl and takes time warming up to strangers but is generally people friendly. She needs patience and love, to help her build confidence. No young children, as she needs her space. More pics & info here!

  • Carlos (M)

    Golden Retriever | DOB Estimate 10/10/2017

    The most chunky boy. Carlos won’t let anyone near his tree. He has fallen in love and this is his soul mate so you may need to take the tree with him. He has a weak back leg & seems to get around fine but might have the odd day where he takes life a little slower (no stairs though). He is a handsome boy who can be mouthy when he wants attention. He would do great in a retired home or somewhere he can get some light exercise.

  • Blaze (M)

    German Shepherd | DOB Estimate: 01/01/2019

    Blaze is an affectionate loyal boy who likes to hug your legs when you walk. He's a quiet observer and has a very calm energy, but he can be protective of his human around other pups (has a dominant side). We're looking for a home without small animals or young children. He will make an amazing and devoted best friend as he just wants to be a good boy with a human to look after. More pics and info here!

  • Anwar (M)

    Shepherd Mix | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2018

    Friendly & playful fella patiently waiting to find his forever family. Gets on well with other big dogs, but needs an experienced home and time to decompress. Truly a loving, gentle giant once he knows you!

  • Kimberly (F)

    Golden Retreiver I DOB Estimate 04/04/2019

    Look at that hair! Like a walking sunset... Kimberly is very sweet and a little shy - she would love to be rehomed with a confident resident dog to show her the ropes and help her adjust to her new life. In time, her loving, affectionate nature will shine through and she'll be ready for anything! Would be good in a home with older, dog-savvy children.

  • Odie (M)

    Malanois | DOB Estimate: 10/10/2019

    Odie is an absolute babe, except for when he's in his crate for night, then his protective side comes out. People friendly and happy for attention. He is an extremely smart, energetic boy who would do best with an active family without children or small animals. An experienced home with knowledge of Malanois could change this boy's world, he has so much promise. More pics and info here!

  • Clarky (M)

    Malamute | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2021

    Playful, cheeky and full of personality! Needs an experienced Malamute home, someone that knows how to barter and win over head-strong pups! Dog Friendly but needs to be monitored as he's very dominant. Would be best in a home as a single dog and no children. More pics and info here!

  • Boon (M)

    Malinois | DOB Estimate 05/05/2020

    The most goofy, funny, entertaining and playful pup. He is super intelligent and would do really well with a job to challenge him. Due to his high-energy, we don’t recommend little kids as he could accidentally knock them over. Needs an active and experienced home that can keep up with his energy. Here’s an example of the entertainment he’d provide you with.

  • Lockin (F)

    Labrador | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2020

    A fairly low energy block of butter, who loves sunbathing, watching the other pups, and food above all. Has been happily living with pups of all sizes but can be a bossy boots so best with other pups that aren't overly dominant. People friendly, loves being showered with attention and desperately wants to find her forever home. More info & pics here!

  • Terry (M)

    Golden Retriever I DOB Estimate 02/02/2021

    Terry is a big shy lad who would love a quiet life. He would suit a home with a calm dog to match his 'low energy, no drama' vibes. He can be a little socially awkward with other dogs, especially boisterous ones - he prefers watching them when they rough-house, rather than joining in. This handsome boy would be a great companion for a family and would respond really well to training.

  • Paws (M)

    Labrador | DOB Estimate 09/09/2021

    Saved from a restaurant with one paw missing, you’d be surprised to know he’s too boisterous for young kids. He legit hasn’t stopped smiling since the day we got him, in classic Labrador fashion. Doesn’t even realize he’s missing a back foot. He gets around great and loves to play - proof here. He also loves everyone. He is such a character and will make his forever home super happy.

  • Maple (F)

    Husky I DOB Estimate: 06/06/2020

    Maple came to us with her back legs completely paralyzed after being attacked by other dogs. She started walking again and is working each day to improve the strength in her back legs. Loving, friendly and a peace-keeper amongst other dogs, despite her history. Maple is gentle, not vocal at all and has a way of looking directly into your soul. Would benefit from a home with patience, love and very few stairs. Maple is also diabetic and requires daily shots of insulin.

    Extra special home needed

  • Kaitlyn (F)

    Labrador | DOB Estimate 03/03/2021

    Such a sweet girl who was rescued a week before delivering 6 little babies - such a strong mama! She is great with all dogs but loves people more. She was shy at first and kept to herself but she is really coming out of her shell and finding her confidence. She is your classic lab personality; cheeky, food motivated and loves a belly rub… Sounds a bit like me!

  • Rosa (F)

    Husky | DOB Estimate 12/12/2020

    The stunning blue-eyed Rosa loves the outdoors and the snow. An active family would suit her well. Her high-energy makes her best for a home without small children. She is good with other dogs but prefers to have her own adventures. She can be stubborn, with selective hearing when it's time to go inside (classic Husky) so we'd love a home with experience in the breed who can really embrace her and bring out the best in her. Look in to her eyes - aaaand you belong to her now.

  • Banana (F)

    Golden Retriever | DOB Estimate: 10/10/2019

    This stunner is quite petite for a golden - she’s dog and people friendly. Playful girl who is food motivated but can be a little shy at first. Banana's eyesight isn't great, so she misses things in front of her quite easily. She needs a calm and patient home that can help build her confidence and let her happy, goofy character shine through. More info and pics here!

  • Little Deer (F)

    German Shepard Mix | DOB Estimate 09/09/2021

Shepherd experienced homes very welcomed. More pics and info here!

  • BiaoMei (F)

    Husky | DOB Estimate 08/08/2019

    Very sweet natured girl who loves to play and be silly. Needs time to build confidence with new people and environments. Does well with all sized dogs but prefers that they match her energy, and aren't overly dominant. People friendly but can be hand shy at first, so lots of training will be beneficial for this smart cookie. Would be an amazing running partner. Seeking a husky (or similar breed) experienced home, who can let her run and play! More pics and info here!

  • Ezekiel (M)

    Shepherd Rough Collie Mix I DOB Estmate: 07/07/2022

    Ezekiel is our most handsome boy, full of hope and love. He absolutely adores human company and deserves a home where he can be the apple of someone's eye. He would be happy as an only dog but could live alongside a calm dog with similar, chill energy for companionship. Our fluffy lad is gentle, affectionate and would love someone to follow around each day and have adventures with.

  • Bridget (F)

    Labrador I DOB Estimate: 01/01/2020

    If you looked up 'Labrador' in the dictionary, you'd see a photo of this good girl. She is loving, happy, playful and beautiful. Bridget loves nothing more than pottering along, following her people, sunbathing and looking stunning. She's an adorable dumpling of a dog who lives happily alongside similar sized dogs - she would be a great family dog and would be happy with dog savvy chlidren.

  • Mama Marnie (F)

    Malamute I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2021

    Mama Marnie came to us heavily pregnant. She had 10 wonderful, crazy babies and has earned the right to a quiet home of her own. She is a sweet girl who likes a fuss and a cuddle. Marnie would be great in a home by herself or with a similar sized dog - an owner experienced with Northern breeds would be ideal to really help her shine.

    Cat friendly

  • Yasmine (F)

    Rottweiler Labrador Mix I DOB Estimate: 07/07/2021

    A safehouse favourite, Yasmine is the sweetest big baby you'll ever meet. She lives with the big dogs and enjoys the occasional wrestle and rough-house. She adores people and would make an amazing companion for roadtrips, camping, working from home - literally anything! She's curious from afar until she finds her confidence, then she's your best friend - loyal, loving and eager to please.

  • Khyber (M)

    Samoyed I DOB Estimate 01/01/2022

    Ultimate fluff-butt Khyber is stunning and he knows it! He's true to his breed and is a perfect balance of regal and chaotic. He spends his days rough-housing with his Labrador best friend, running around like a crazy demon and educating those around him on why he's right and everyone else is wrong. He needs someone with an understanding of what Samoyeds require and who won't fall for his good looks and let him rule the house.

Adoption FAQs

  • We only adopt where we have a support network, ensuring we can always be there for our rescues even after adoption so there's minimal risk of any failings.

  • 1) We receive an application (you can apply for a particular animal, or leave it blank if you are open to our suggestions)

    2) We review the applications usually within a week. Be sure to check spam folder!

    3) If we wish to pursue yours, you'll be invited for a homecheck.

    4) If the homecheck is approved, we will then start the matching process. We will ensure that we feel the pup/cat is a good fit.

    5) Once the match is secured, we will begin travel plans. It can take on average between 1-4 months, depending on the location.

  • All you pay for is transportation home. Your pet will also be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered + medically examined for behavioral or medical conditions to reduce any surprises.
