Marley is available for Foster to Adopt!! ***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form*** As a foster-to-adopt family, you will have two weeks to get to know your new furry house guest before committing to adoption. At the end of two weeks, if you choose not to move forward with adoption, we simply ask that you continue to provide a safe and loving home until their new forever family can be found. During your foster-to-adopt trial, you’ll receive the support of a Fetch + Releash mentor to help you through the transition and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Foster-to-adopt families will be required to pay a $200 deposit on the adoption fee and sign our foster-to-adopt waiver in advance. If you choose not to adopt, your $200 will be refunded to you within 30 days of your dog being adopted into a new family provided you see your pup through to adoption. If you choose not to see your dog through to adoption, you will forfeit your deposit. Foster-to-adopt families will be expected to provide their own supplies. Visit https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info for more info on mandatory supplies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marley / Female / 5 years / 70 pounds / Boxer Mix / Sweet and Gentle Girl / Needs Proper Intros to Dogs / Cats Unknown / Good with Older, Respectful Children / From Tennessee / Fostered in Toronto ** Follow Marley’s journey on Instagram: @marvellousmissmarley** Meet Marley! 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.

Story
Hello! My name is June!I'm a lovely and friendly girl. I do get excited when meeting new human friends and, like a boxer, I like to throw my paws around when I jump up to greet them. I am a silly girl who enjoys running after toys. I'm not necessarily going to bring them back to you, but I will make you laugh as you watch my bouncy style of running. I do tend to bark and pull when I see dogs on walks. I am looking for a home that is interested in helping me work through my big feels and help walks be a fun adventure for both of us!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers should be fine. No young children as I can be exuberant and jumpy and might knock over youngsters.OTHER DOGS: Yes, I would enjoy a playful dog buddy!CATS: No, I am a bit overwhelming for a kittyFIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Potentially, if you have dog experience and a strong interest in training.FENCED-IN YARD: Required, since I can have big reactions on leash towards dogs, having a fenced in area will allow me to have breaks from those stressful dogs.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, but being left for a full work day will not be ideal for me.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.I'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: No. HOUSE-TRAINED: So far doing well but may require some patience as I adjust to a new routine.If you think I could be a good match for your home, please click the "adopt me" button to apply!View more animals available for adoption: https://guelphhumane.ca/adopt/available-animals/

Story
Tessa and her 2 tiny babies were rescued from BARC in Houston on April 29, 2024, moments before they were going to be killed. They had a loving home, but their owner was taken to the hospital and his relatives dumped his dogs at the shelter. There was another dog, too, thought to be Tessa's mom, but she was killed. We can't save them all, as much as we wish we could! At least we were able to save Tessa and her babies. The photos of Tessa in her concrete cell, her head down body curled protectively around her puppies, might make you think she's guarding them from letting anyone get too close. Her facial expression doesn't exactly look warm and welcoming -- but the truth is, this mama is as sweet and affectionate with people, even people she's just met, as she is with her own babies. She's all sugar, and no spice! She had absolutely ZERO concern about having her puppies picked up and carried around by strangers, she just wanted to get a butt scratch too. We haven't known her for too long, but so far everything we've seen has been absolutely lovely. She's an amazing mama, but she's also super friendly, quiet in the house, playful with other dogs, curious to investigate new surroundings, and quick to learn. She was pretty interested in the resident cat at her foster home, but was easily redirected and seems to understand now that the cat is off-limits. She's already learning the house rules from her foster-dog siblings and loves being to,d what a good girl she is.Tessa is going to LOVE being part of a family, and we're confident she's going to be an easy, fun and precious addition to any household, whether it's with a single retiree or a busy, bustling family. We're not sure yet if she would prefer having doggie playmates or being the center of attention -- she'd probably be very happy with either, as long as she's not left alone for long periods (she hasn't shown that she has separation anxiety, we just know she's not going to like being by herself as most dogs don't). She seems to be somewhat dominant, so she won't be placed with another dominant female. She's currently in a wonderful foster home in Arkansas, and is available to join a loving household nearly anywhere in the continental US or Ontario.
