Bubbles

“Hey yeah, you with the sad face, come back to my place and live it up,” sang the late, great Greedy Smith on the Mental As Anything hit Live It Up. Bubbles has one of the saddest faces we’ve ever seen — but looks can be deceiving.

She was a stray. “Bubbles is a sweet girl who loves to snuggle in your lap,” staff say. “She can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly, especially with some yummy treats. She is goofy and loves to zoom around the yard with us — she isn’t too sure about playing with toys, but maybe we haven’t found the right one yet.

“We think Bubbles is only young and might still have some growing to do. She has enjoyed playing with other dogs while with us and might enjoy a playmate in her new home.” She knows sit but would probably benefit from a beginner obedience class.

Please ensure the below information, including the ‘please note’ section, is read in full if you are interested in viewing, meeting or adopting Bubbles.

If you are interested in a dog, please make a booking to visit the Home where that dog is located. We can’t guarantee that a particular dog will still be available at the time of your visit, as adoptions occur throughout the day. Our team updates the website as quickly as possible.

Your booking is simply an allocated time to view all of the dogs, and it allows us to ensure staff are available should you wish to have a meet and greet with a particular dog.

Please remember that if you are interested in adopting on the day, all household members — including any existing dogs — must attend the appointment. It’s vital that the dog meets everyone and gets along with them, and that the whole household is ready to welcome a new family member.

Please note:
• Rental agreements allowing dogs will be required for adoption into rental properties.
• Before adopting a dog, all members of your household must attend a meet and greet with the dog (including small children and existing dogs).
• Whilst the website is live and updates frequently, there is a chance that when you arrive a dog may already have been adopted by some-one else. Sorry, but we cannot put dogs on hold over the phone. You need to meet them first so that we can ensure a suitable match.
• While our Homes are open, not every dog available for adoption will be onsite and available in person. You will notice some dogs are listed as ‘foster care’. This means that they are offsite with one of our amazing foster carers. If you are interested in this dog, please contact the Home directly to discuss suitability and a possible meet.
