Story
Juniper is a sweet, 9 year old female mixed breed dog. She had a rough start to life as a stray, suffered and overcame heartworm and has shown everyone who meets her how smart, gentle and funny is truly is. Although she has come so far, she still carries a lot of the baggage and anxiety from her earlier days. Junie loves to take naps, relax, stretch her legs and look forward to things in her usual routine. Walks, people and squirrel watching, stretching out on the couch. She also loves to be around friends, go to the pet store, the hardware store or Starbucks. She adores car rides and playing in sprinklers. Sometimes those fun outings can be overstimulating and cause her to become stressed and can also be stressful for her human friends. Her current foster parents have found out that taking time to introduce her to any new situation- allowing her to see (and safely sniff) a new place, keeping the first visit short and pairing it with treats, praise and patience can make a huge difference for her. She has time and time again shown that with each visit to a slightly less routine place, she becomes more comfortable and relaxed. And yes, we think her new adopters may even need to do this with their neighborhood coffee shop. Adopters will also need to pre-plan for potentially high stress situations where Junie may feel the need to act first and ask questions later before she understands what is happening. Asking people to give her space and giving her breaks when she needs them are very important for Junie. The great thing is: Junie enjoys being around friends in a predictable way such as having her mat to sit on with a chew treat when she needs a break from being a social butterfly.

Story
Lua / Female / Approximately 2 years old / 35 lbs / Boxer Mix / Good with calm dogs (male dogs preferred) / Good with cats / Good with older, dog-savvy children/ From Mexico / Fostered in Warkworth Lua’s journey began in Mexico. Her mother was found living on a vacant lot tied to a fence, without shelter. She gave birth to four puppies before our rescue partners intervened, cutting her chain and bringing the little family to safety. One of those puppies was Lua, rescued from neglect and now blossoming into a loving, affectionate companion. Lua is a sweet girl with the most expressive eyes. She’s affectionate, playful, and always ready to snuggle. She even thinks she’s a lap dog, curling herself into your lap no matter how awkwardly she has to fit. She loves enrichment, enjoys nose work, and the way to her heart is through dehydrated beef heart (but not fish—she’ll politely turn her nose away). Outdoors, she adores chasing frogs around the yard, nudging their butts to make them hop. With her trusted humans, Lua is loyal, affectionate, and happy to stay close. She can be protective and cautious with new people, particularly with men, preferring to sniff and assess before warming up. Once she’s comfortable, she showers them with love. She's met older, dog-savvy children so a household with teenagers would be ok for her as long as they give her time to get comfortable. Lua would do best in a single family home (no apartments or condos) in a quiet suburban or rural area. Lua has been steadily building confidence in her foster placement. By her first evening, she went from tail tucked tightly to running toward them with excitement, eventually taking treats gently by hand. To avoid over-attachment, her foster family members take turns feeding and interacting with her, helping her learn balanced relationships. Lua has also found a special friend—Freedom, a dog from another local rescue. With careful introductions, they began walking together, sharing outdoor time, and playing on the deck. They’ve been spotted kissing and even waiting for each other to drink before resuming play. She shows no resource guarding with toys or treats when with Freedom and could thrive in a home with another calm, balanced dog—or as the only dog, provided she continues supervised socialization through dog-walking dates and slow introductions. Lua also does well with cats, respecting their boundaries while showing curiosity. She enjoys two walks a day but is very athletic and we expect she could jump a fence if she wanted to. She loves to sniff, explore, and looks to her humans for reassurance when cars or city sounds make her pause. She’s doing well on leash and grows more confident every day. Indoors, she enjoys enrichment activities and is beginning to discover the joy of toys—though she once shredded one happily in her crate, then calmly let her foster clean up the fluff. Lua is crate trained, housetrained (with some adjustment expected in a new home), and is progressing well in learning impulse control through structured training. She sleeps in her crate overnight and settles when left home alone. She’s eager to learn, smart, and thrives on gentle, positive reinforcement. Lua is a loving, sensitive girl who has already come so far. She’s ready for a foster-to-adopt home or an adopter who will give her the time, structure, and affection to continue her journey. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart and even bigger potential, Lua could be the perfect fit. Due to Lua's unique circumstances, her fee is sponsored by Fetch + Releash. Prospective adopters must commit to attending training sessions with her post-adoption with a certified R+ dog trainer to ensure a successful transition.

Story
Rambo is a handsome boy with a heart as big as his personality! This energetic boy loves to play, especially a good game of tug, and he’s always up for an adventure with his favourite people. At first, Rambo can be a little nervous when meeting new faces, but with patience and some tasty treats, he quickly warms up and shows off his sweet, friendly nature. He thrives in an environment where he can build trust and confidence at his own pace. Because he’s still young, Rambo can get overstimulated in new or stressful situations, so he’ll need a family who understands his needs and can help him navigate the world with positive reinforcement. He’s strong and can pull on leash, so ongoing training and structure will be key to helping him become the best walking companion. Rambo would do best with an active family who can match his enthusiasm for life, continue his training, and provide him with the love and patience he deserves. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion, Rambo is ready to meet you!

Story
Mika was surrendered to us when her previous family thought she was pregnant. Mika was severely underweight and had a huge abdomen. On exam, we knew right away something wasn't right. She was taken to the vet for x-rays and it turned out she had a tumor the size of a basketball. She required surgery right away and recovered amazingly. Most recently, another tumor started to grow, and after further testing it ended up being Soft Tissue Sarcoma. The kindest thing would be to not pursue another surgery but to find her a palliative home where she can spend the rest of her days. Mika has always been extremely protective of her people and space. With people she knows, she is the most loving and cuddly girl. She is fiercely loyal. To those she doesn't trust she can be extremely aggressive and bite. Mika is in need of a home that can manage this behavior and limit her interactions with strangers. Mika does well with dogs after a slow introduction and would do well living with another dog. Mika does amazing with cats. Mika will need a home without any visiting kids. Mika loves to play in the yard with her dog friends, cuddle on the couch and lounge around. She has amazing house manners, loves car rides and even knows how to give hugs to her people.

Story
Boots is a large, strong, and affectionate dog looking for an experienced home. Born March 6, 2022, he is energetic, people-oriented, and forms close bonds with his handlers. He enjoys being near his humans and thrives on attention and companionship. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he can jump up on adults when excited. This is not aggression and would benefit greatly from consistent training and clear structure. An experienced owner willing to continue training or work with a professional trainer will do very well with him. He does well with calm, respectful children and responds well to verbal cues. With slow, proper introductions, he can do well with other animals. He is not neutered and is not currently up to date on vaccinations (first-year shots completed). Due boots being very enthusiastic tail wagging, he can occasionally bump his tail on hard surfaces when excited. This is manageable with supervision and appropriate care. There is no fee I just want him in the right home.

Story
Meet Emjay – Your 100-Pound Lap Dog with a Heart of Gold! At 7 years old, Emjay is a gentle, soulful bulldog who’s equal parts snuggly teddy bear and backyard goofball. He may tip the scales at nearly 100 pounds, but don’t tell him that—he still firmly believes he’s a lap dog. If you're looking for a cuddle companion who’s always down for a nap on the couch (preferably with his head on your chest), Emjay might just be your guy. Emjay lives for the little things in life: quiet walks, sniffing the breeze, and lazy afternoons spent lounging near his people. Due to some ongoing health concerns and his age, he's happiest in calm environments where he can take things at his own pace. That said, don’t be fooled—he still gets spectacular bursts of playful energy and loves to show off his moves with his favorite toys in the backyard. Emjay is working hard on his dog social skills and is making amazing progress! He’s learning to check in with his handler when he spots another dog and is getting better at staying calm and focused. He’ll thrive with adopters who can advocate for his space, especially in busy or dog-heavy environments. He’s not asking for isolation—just a little understanding. To help him feel secure (and show off his impressive training chops), he wears his muzzle like a pro. Smart as they come, Emjay picks up new cues quickly and is always eager to learn. He’s already fluent in a variety of commands and is motivated by praise, treats, and the occasional silly voice. Like all of us, Emjay carries some baggage, and he’ll need a patient, loving home that’s willing to work with him as he adjusts to his new life. But we promise—he’s absolutely worth it. He’s not just a dog; he’s a loyal, expressive companion with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, sometimes-silly bulldog who just wants to be your best friend (and maybe the center of your world), we’d love to introduce you to Emjay. Let’s find this beautiful boy the forever home he deserves.
