Marley's backstory is one of beating all odds and is a testament to the indomitable spirit that defines her. Marley previously enjoyed the love of a family but when they couldn’t keep her they unknowingly dropped her at one of the harshest shelters in Tennessee, where she deteriorated to the brink of despair. When she was pulled from the shelter by our rescue partner she was skin and bones and experiencing severe discomfort. Despite her condition, she very happily jumped into the rescuer’s car and revealed her sweet and pleasing personality. She is now on the mend and living the good life in foster care in Toronto. Marley’s foster describes her as sweet, friendly, gentle, and playful. She loves going out on walks, playing fetch, running around, chewing on kongs with peanut butter, and when that is all done cuddling up on the couch for snuggles. If Marley has a chance to be outside, she will be your best friend. She is friendly with her trusted people and will greet them with her tail wagging. With new people, she can be shy but will come sniff and seems to enjoy meeting new people at her own pace. Marley has met children as young as 3 years old and has been gentle with them, giving them smells and not minding them being near her. She is, however, a bit timid in the face of loud noises. We think that she could do well in a home with older, respectable children who respect her and her space. In her previous life, Marley survived a pretty vicious dog attack, however, she does not seem to mind being close to dogs when out on her walks. She still needs and appreciates slow introductions if she is in close proximity to other dogs. Marley has had exposure to puppies around 6 months but she would rather keep to herself instead of playing with them. Eventually, she could have doggy friends and may be able to live with another older dog with proper introductions. Marley has not met any cats and we do not know how she would react to them. She is therefore looking for a cat-free home. Marley gets 3-4 walks a day, 2 are usually 20-30 minutes, and the others are short pee breaks. She also gets indoor enrichment and lots of fetch in the yard. Marley does pull on the leash but her fosters are actively working on it and she has already made improvements. She does not seem fearful of anything on a leash but can be overwhelmed by unfamiliar city noises. Marley is a very polite house guest and has stayed in her crate for up to six hours without issue. She settles in the crate quickly and takes a nap. When her people are home she loves being the resident couch potato and likes to snuggle up using your lap as a pillow. She likes to follow her people around the house but is not stressed being left alone. She sleeps through the night in her crate without issue. Marley is working on basic training and knows to sit, come, and stay. She knows “leave it” and “place” really well. She is only motivated by high-value treats so her fosters are working to figure out her favourite things. Marley’s ideal home is one that is filled with love and consideration. She has been through so much and deserves the best forever home. She is very gentle, sweet, and attentive with people of all ages but is most comfortable in a calm environment with people mindful of her body language and comfort levels. She could live with older, respectful children who understand her boundaries. She would love a house with a yard so she can keep up one of her favourite activities, fetch. Marley is a living testament to the strength of the canine spirit, and her presence is a reminder that resilience and love can conquer even the darkest of pasts. Marley is a survivor and truly deserves nothing but the very best. Marley’s fur is noticeably patchy from damage done to her hair follicles when she suffered from mange in the shelter. Her hair may grow back in time but, likely, she will always be a little patchy. She is currently taking Stilbestrol for urine leaking and will need to stay on it for life (dosing is twice daily but the goal is to get dose frequency as low as you can go with no leaking). Will need CBC bloodwork every 4 months while on Stilbestrol. Four month supply costs approx $72.41 and CBC costs $202.46. If you’re interested in fostering with the intention of adopting Marley, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Marley adoption fee is $500.

Say hello to your new best pal, Joe! This goofy boy is full of love and adoration for just about anyone he comes across. He is friendly and smiley, curious and eager to please. He hasn't quite worked out the meaning of personal space yet, so expect a few sloppy kisses and hilarious face sniffs while he's learning the art of manners. Joe is the perfect companion for someone who leads a mildly active lifestyle; he enjoys the odd walk outdoors, but is equally (if not more) fond of hanging out at home with his favourite humans and relaxing. He would do wonderfully with someone who is patient and loving, willing to go the extra mile to help him become his best furry self, and who has time to be there for him when he needs a good ol' giant cuddle.
