FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
**Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form**
We would love to welcome Larry into the Fetch + Releash family on May 23! In order to secure a spot on the flight, we need a committed adoptive family. As a foster-to-adopt family, you'll be expected to take him home on his arrival date. You will then 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.
Each bio was created by our rescue partners based on their interactions with the dogs. Fetch + Releash has a full disclosure policy however we cannot guarantee a dog against parasites or diseases, nor can we guarantee a dog's nature/behaviour. Many of these dogs are coming directly from the shelter and so you should expect there to be a transitional period. Be prepared to deal with common issues like potty training, leash walking, and socialization. Cat and kid safety assessments are often based on their personality and not necessarily on actual interactions.
Where possible, the majority of vetting will be completed prior to coming to Canada, however, foster-to-adopt families may be required to travel to our partner vet in Mississauga, ON for further vet care.
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.

Larry / Male / 2 years old / 25 lbs / Corgi Chihuahua Mix / from Mexico
Larry can be summarized as a low-rider ball of softness and cuddles. He is an incredibly gentle boy whose best friend is a baby chick named Jackie. Jackie sleeps on Larry's back and spends her days cuddled up with this sweet gentleman (yes, I promise this is real... we have video evidence).
Larry loves all humans and animals. Reasons why you should adopt him: his fur is soft like a rabbit, his face is the most kissable face a dog has ever had, and he is goodness. He enjoys swimming and he doesn't discriminate against bodies of water... he'll take a pool, a tub and even a bowl of water.
Larry is on the lower end of medium energy and will need two walks a day and plenty of canine enrichment. His new family should be prepared to support him with basic training such as potty training, leash walking and general commands.
Larry is an adaptable dude and could do well in a home with a yard, or an apartment, so long as he is getting sufficient walks/exercise. Norton would make an excellent second dog as he is very fond of puppy pals. However, we think he would do fine in a home as a solo pet where he could soak up all the attention.
Larry was briefly tested with cats and did okay. He has not been tested with kids, but we believe he can likely live with respectful children who understand doggie etiquette. His new family should monitor all introductions to ensure safe interactions.
