About Sonar
Meet Sonar!
I am Sonar, a quirky little girl with a whole lot of personality. I am a very happy girl with a beautiful temperament who loves nothing more than playing with other dogs, running on the grass, and playing ball. Being born blind hasn't stopped me from living my best life. I find my way around very easily using my incredibly big ears and sense of smell.
I am searching for a new doggy best friend(s) who can help me through life. Having spent the first six months of my life living on a property with my siblings (you may know my sister Radar), I wasn't introduced to many new surroundings or noises. Therefore, I get very anxious in new environments and around new people, particularly males and when I am on my own. It takes time for me to adjust and warm up to new things, but once I feel comfortable and confident, I open up and am full of life.
I am looking for a quiet home without children/teenagers and without a lot of visitors. A home where I can become best friends with your doggy companion first, while I slowly adjust to my new life. Preferably, a dog that's a couple of years older than me, but still young enough to keep up with all my energy. Ideally, a single lady or couple who have a lot of patience and are willing to give me the time I need to slowly adjust and warm up to them. I also need somewhere that has a bit of space for me to run around.
I am not an overly affectionate or needy dog, but I do enjoy snuggling up with someone in the evening to sleep. I can be vocal when hearing new noises and am scared of the vacuum and bath time. I am currently living with a small senior dog who I get along with really well and have learned to play gently with.
Ideally, my adopter should live in Canberra or surrounding areas so that a slow adoption transition can occur, which will make me more comfortable with the move. Moving to a new home can be stressful, and it may take some time for me to adjust to my new environment. Therefore, it would be best if my adopter lives within a reasonable distance, allowing for visits before the adoption and gradually introducing me to my new home. This will give me the opportunity to get to know my new family and surroundings at my own pace, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition for us all.

Adoption details
Step 1: Fill out the adoption application
Complete the adoption application found at the following link: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=vl2684&method=online_form_html&formid=48
Once the application is completed and returned, it will be assessed for suitability.
Step 2: Phone call from HNE team
You will receive a call from one of the HNE team to discuss your application in more detail. This will be followed up by another phone call to answer any further questions or concerns that may be raised from the previous call.
Step 3: Meet and greet with the dog and yard check
If your application progresses, a meet and greet with the dog and all members of the adopting family and current dogs is arranged where possible. Should this not be possible due to being interstate, then an online meet with the foster carer will be arranged. This usually coincides with a yard check to ensure the safety and security of the property on which the dog will be kept.
Step 4: Payment of adoption fee
Payment of the non-refundable adoption fee in full is required prior to the handover of the dog. You will receive all the animal's possessions, and certificates will be emailed. Transport arrangements are the financial responsibility of the adopting party. Hear No Evil is happy to assist with departure preparations and ensuring the dog makes its transport connection.
Final step: Microchip details and finalization of adoption
Once the 14-day "settling in" period has ended, the change of ownership microchip details are submitted, and the adoption is officially finalized. More information can be found in the Terms & Conditions on the adoption form.
