About Sugar
Meet Sugar! Sugar is a sweet but shy girl who is searching for a patient and understanding home. She has not had the best start in life, and her past experiences may mean she takes a little extra time to feel safe and comfortable in new environments. To help her settle in, Sugar should be provided with a dedicated safe room for the first few weeks, complete with cosy beds, hiding places, scratching posts, climbing opportunities, toys, and separate areas for food, water, and toileting. A predictable daily routine will help reduce stress and build confidence. Allow her to explore gradually at her own pace and always use consent-based interactions, paying close attention to her body language. Daily interactive play sessions will provide valuable enrichment, encourage natural behaviours, strengthen her confidence, and help build a trusting bond with her new family.
Adoption details
Our adoption process is designed to match you with the right pet, the first time. Our team are experts at rehoming animals who have specific needs that match your lifestyle, to ensure every adoption placement will last a lifetime.
At our Peninsula site, adoption hours are 12pm – 4pm. You are welcome to attend our reception office without an appointment to begin our adoption process during adoption hours.
The adoption areas are not free to walk through, and you will need to chat with our staff to confirm that a potential adoption is a good match.
Once the adoption has been discussed, a staff member will facilitate a walk-through of the adoption areas or have an animal brought to you in a greeting area.
