Elton / Male / 10 weeks / approx 17 lbs / Mixed Breed (will likely be large fully grown) / Good with Dogs / Untested with Kids & Cats / Local Surrender/ Fostered in Toronto
Meet itty bitty Elton! This little pup came to Fetch & Releash at just four weeks old alongside his siblings, Bru, Cruise, Elora, Pip, and Tigerlily. As you'd expect from a puppy this young, he's a little ball of rambunctious, curious, and adorable energy. He loves to eat, play, cuddle, and nap, and he'd love to do it as part of your family.
We'll give you the big puppy disclaimer later on, but for now, let's focus on the good parts of puppy ownership. This little guy is cute as a button, with his white chest and spot on his forehead. He's also very friendly and outgoing in the way that all puppies are. Everyone is just a friend Elton hasn't met yet, and he'll come bounding up to everyone with the expectation of treats and fun.
Elton is also very affectionate, even by puppy standards. He'll come up and sit beside you, looking up with those puppy dog eyes, until you finally gather him up for a hug. Then he'll lick your nose and demand to be let down to get back to playing, as is the way of puppies. Squirming balls of fluffy energy.
This little ball of fur could eventually grow into a BIG cuddle monster. Elton and his siblings didn't come to us along with their mother to confirm, but we suspect he's a mix of several larger breeds. The good news is that large breeds are typically kind, affectionate, and loyal dogs who are protective of their families, but still perfectly capable of socializing with other dogs or pets if given the proper training.
While Elton doesn't require a lot of space now, the potential size of the breed usually means it'd be a good idea to have a backyard or live near a nice dog park to give him proper exercise.
Elton is currently teething, which means he's chewing everything he can find, but he's at least easily distracted by giving him a new toy to chew on. He's also just beginning to be potty-trained and will still have accidents. But don’t worry—you’ll never be able to stay mad at that adorable face.
ABOUT YOU!
Puppies are a lot of work. At just 8 weeks old, we are looking for families who have FLEXIBLE work schedules and the time and energy to invest in socialization and training. Yes, Elton is tiny and oh-so-cute, but we can pretty much guarantee that he will:
-Pee and poop on your floor
-Chew your furniture
-Eat your designer handbag
-Ruin your leisurely Sunday morning sleep-in
As a condition of the adoption contract, their new families will be required to:
-Ensure they have an opportunity to go outside every 2-3 hours. If you work full-time, this means hiring a dog walker to come in 2x per day for a puppy visit.
-Attend and complete a basic obedience class at your own cost (proof required).
-Provide plenty of socialization opportunities – both dog and human – it's important at this stage.
-Spay/neuter them within 6 months of adoption. If done at our partner vet in Mississauga, the spay/neuter 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/neuter is required to finalize the adoption.

Elton’s adoption fee is $1000. To learn more about our adoption fees and the process, please visit our FAQs at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/about-us#about-faqs.

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.
