My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Electra / Female / 5 months / 25 lbs and growing / Australian Shepherd Cross / Expected to be Medium Size when Full Grown / Medium-High Puppy Energy / Good with Dogs / Good with Older, Dog Savvy Kids / Untested with Cats / From Tennessee / Fostered in Mississauga

Meet Electra! This beautiful girl came to us from Tennessee to find her forever home. Electra is described by her fosters as a clever, curious and playful pup. She loves to explore, play and get attention. Between her puppy clumsiness, sass and adorable eyes, she is sure to steal your heart.

Electra is very social and loves to be where her people are. She is described as super friendly to people within her home. As a puppy she is curious and enjoys meeting new people. She is beginning to show affection by cuddling and giving kisses, but offer her a belly rub and she'll be your best friend! Although Electra does not currently live with children and has not encountered any children, we think she would do well in a home with respectful, dog savvy children who understand her age and developmental stages (jumping, nipping, etc.).

Electra is looking for a family that is prepared to commit to her training and development. At only 4 months old she will require a lot of attention, time and patience. She has been making great strides with her training and she is very food motivated. However, she can be stubborn so her new family may need to be creative when it comes to training! You will need to be able to be home more often than not, or prepared to hire help. With her being a blank slate it also makes her a great candidate for any type of living arrangement. A yard, or access to greenspace, will be important as she is a growing girl and an energetic breed.

Electra is very dog social and loves to play with them. She would make a great second dog. Electra enjoys playing with her foster sibling and is learning boundaries as she grows. In a home with another dog, Electra's joy would know no bounds, ensuring she always has a trusty playmate by her side. Electra has not had the opportunity to meet cats yet, but given her age we think she would be ok with proper introductions.

Electra has gradually been learning her skills. She has learned to sit, to come when she is called and is improving daily with her potty training. Electra loves treats and attention, so she is a quick learner. Her curiosity and cleverness makes her a joy to train.

Electra loves to explore the outdoors, but is still learning to wear a harness and walk on leash. Access to greenspace and outdoor enrichment would be a dream come true for her. With her young age she can not be trusted alone yet. Electra is a mischievous puppy at heart and she can not be trusted alone yet. In true puppy fashion she's always on the lookout for new adventures. When alone, Electra is in her crate and usually settles quickly into a nap. Continuing her training and building independence will be very important in her new home.

Elevate your family's joy by welcoming Electra into your home. Adopt Electra and embark on a journey of shared adventures and boundless love.

As a condition of the adoption contract, Electra's new family will be required to:

• Ensure they have frequent opportunities to go outside every 4-5 hours. If you work full-time, this means hiring a dog walker to come for a puppy visit so they are able to relieve themselves.
• Attend and complete a basic obedience class at your own cost (proof required)
• Provide plenty of socialization opportunities – both dog and human – it's critically important at this stage.
• Electra has not been checked for heartworm and tick borne as they do need to be 6 months for an accurate negative result. At 6 months, they are required to be tested and in the event of a positive result, treatment will be covered if done at our partner vet in Mississauga.
• Spay within 6 months of adoption. If done at our partner vet in Mississauga, the spay will be included in the adoption fee. If you choose to do it elsewhere, it will be done at your own cost. Proof of spay is required to finalize the adoption.

Additional adoption info

To adopt one of our dogs, please fill out an application at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form. Although we do our best to reply to all inquiries within 72 hours, please remember we are a volunteer-run organization. We appreciate your patience.

If we think your application has potential to be a good fit, a Fetch + Releash volunteer will contact you to set up a time to speak over the phone and conduct the home visit. In addition to the phone interview and home visit, we also require personal, veterinarian, and landlord reference if applicable.

After the phone interview, home visit & reference check, you will then be granted a private meet and greet with the dog.

After the meet and greet, the adoption committee will then review your completed application and make a final decision.

More about this rescue

Established in 2016, Fetch + Releash is a volunteer run dog rescue dedicated to saving dogs in need. Our foster dogs come from a variety of different backgrounds such as shelters, strays and surrendered pets, both locally and abroad. Through our network of volunteers, foster homes, trainers and veterinarians, we strive to give every dog the loving forever family they deserve. As a foster-based rescue, our dogs live in private homes across the Greater Toronto Area where they receive the love and attention they need to ready them for adoption.

A dog is a lifetime commitment and not to be discarded due to health, lifestyle change or inconvenience. Some of the top reasons dogs end up in shelters are lack of training, lifestyle changes (i.e. new baby, marriage), relocation, cost of dog ownership, not enough time for pet etc. Our goal is to ensure our adoptive families are well versed in the realities of dog ownership and ready to make a lifetime commitment.
