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
Duncan is a handsome 90lb American Bulldog mix who has nothing but love to give!  Friendly, sweet and affectionate, he truly believes everyone is his best friend.  Through no fault of his own, Duncan has already lost two homes.  He was adopted as a puppy by grandchildren for their grieving grandfather, who passed away a few months after, and then a kind neighbour took him in, but also became ill.  Despite all of this upheaval, this resilient boy remains his cheerful loving self.   Duncan has a whole lot going for him!  He’s easygoing and great with kids.  He enjoys other dogs and gets along with cats. He loves car rides, is crate trained, and is learning to walk with a leash.  That being said, he is a big strong puppy who missed out on early training due to circumstances, and he needs a committed adopter who will help him become his best self.   Duncan did have an enlarged prostate when he came into care, but it has been treated and resolved.  He has been neutered, is current on vaccines, and is being fostered by the vet who treated his prostate.  Housetraining is going well and continued crate training is essential as Duncan will chew on things he shouldn’t if left to his own devices.   At his core, Duncan is a loving and gentle soul who needs stability and a fresh start.  He would love a fenced in yard so he can sniff and explore.  He would also love to find his dedicated someone who is willing to invest time into his training and finally give him the forever home he deserves.  April 27, 2026, 8:19 am

Story
Lua / Female / 2 years old / 49 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 story began in Mexico, where her mother was found tied to a fence on a vacant lot without shelter. She gave birth to four puppies before our rescue partners stepped in, cut her chain, and brought the family to safety. One of those puppies was Lua — and today she’s grown into a vibrant, affectionate dog with a big personality and a heart full of love. Over the past several months, Lua has been working closely with a professional boarding and training environment where she has made wonderful strides in confidence, manners, and trust. The shy, uncertain puppy she once was has blossomed into a playful, loving companion who adores her people and thrives on connection. Lua is bouncy, bubbly, and full of personality — her foster lovingly says she has an “invisible trampoline.” She loves praise and affection and will happily soak up attention from the people she trusts. She’s incredibly loyal and happiest when she’s spending time with her humans. Once Lua warms up to you, she is extremely affectionate and playful, often wiggling with excitement and happily seeking out attention and praise. She has made great progress meeting new people, including men, and while she may still take a little time to build trust with strangers, she continues to show how capable she is of forming positive new relationships. Lua is also a smart and curious girl who enjoys enrichment activities like nose work and training games, and the way to her heart is definitely through dehydrated beef heart treats. In the yard she loves exploring and has even been known to entertain herself chasing frogs around. Lua has shown she can bond beautifully with calm, balanced dogs, particularly male dogs who respect her space. She could thrive in a home with another well-balanced dog or as the only dog, as long as she continues to enjoy structured social opportunities such as pack walks or playdates. Lua would do best in a quiet suburban or rural home rather than an apartment or condo. She has natural guardian instincts and will alert bark when she notices something new, which makes busier environments with shared hallways or elevators more challenging for her. She has made great progress with impulse control and manners, including improved greeting behaviour and calmer mealtimes (she no longer needs a slow feeder!). She sleeps comfortably in her crate overnight and settles well into a routine. Lua could live with older, dog-savvy children (teenagers) who understand how to respect a dog’s space and signals. Like many sensitive dogs, she thrives in a calm home with patient adopters who will continue supporting her confidence and training. What makes Lua truly special is how far she has come. With the right guidance, patience, and love, she has blossomed into a loyal, joyful companion who deeply bonds with her people. Lua is ready to continue her journey in a committed home that will celebrate her progress and keep helping her grow. Due to Lua's unique circumstances, her adoption 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
Meet Loki: part marshmallow, part shadow, part undercover goofball. Loki, a 7 y/o American Bulldog located in Toronto, was scheduled to be euthanized. There was no incident, no aggression, no reason to fear him, just a dog who was too scared to show the world who he really is. At the shelter, he didn’t bark or act out, he simply disappeared. Curled up in his bed, head tucked into blankets, hoping the world would leave him alone. A quiet boy, shutting down in a loud place. And then someone gave him a chance. Fast forward to today, and Loki is a lil pudding. Soft, affectionate, and happiest when he knows he’s safe. A master cuddler and nap enthusiast. He’s the kind of sweet that sneaks up on you. When he’s comfortable, his playful side comes out, including, zoomies, squeaky toys (his true passion), and a firm commitment to tug of war. Loki is still building confidence. New people and places can make him nervous, and when he’s nervous he may retreat. With patience and reassurance, he settles and that’s when you see him shine. He was initially more nervous of men but is already making great progress. He will need a home committed to his care, including a strict hypoallergenic diet for his skin and ears. Vet visits are hard for him, but manageable with medication and support. Loki’s dream home is someone patient and kind. Someone who understands that the best things take time. A quieter home would suit him best, with older or dog-savvy kids. He’s fairly indifferent to other dogs, so could live with one, but would also be very happy as your one and only. If you think you could be a match for Loki, visit teamdogrescue.ca/adoptables to apply. 💛

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.
