About Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a gentle soul with a kind heart who is always ready to share his love. Even in his more mature age, Oatmeal is always up for some fun. His progression in years has not slowed him down, but has only made him wiser.
This sweet old fellow is not only loving but brilliantly smart, and he's free with his affections. Oatmeal will make an effortless connection with any family looking for a steadfast companion. Being dog-friendly, he loves meeting his fellow canine pals and can certainly keep pace when it comes to playtime.
His love for water is quite notable - perhaps he was a fish in another life! Splashing around, swimming or just calmly wading, Oatmeal is happiest when by the water. This affinity means he could be a great addition to a family who loves making beach or lakeside trips, or even if you simply have a kiddie pool in your backyard.
Just like the warm breakfast dish that shares his name, Oatmeal can offer comfort, warmth, and the perfect start to each day. He remains young at heart, ready to embrace life's adventures with his loving family.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
