Story
T-Bone / Male / Approximately 3 Months / 8 lbs (and growing!) / Husky Mix / Will be Medium to Large Sized Dog / Puppy Energy / Likely Good with Other Dogs / Untested with Cats / Likely Good with Kids / From Manitoba / Fostered in Toronto Follow T-Bone’s adventures on Instagram @thetailwags Meet T-Bone! T-Bone was rescued from northern Manitoba when he was around 8 weeks old. He was found in rough shape and was likely attacked by other dogs. Luckily he was treated and has made a recovery. He is now in Toronto looking for his forever home. T-Bone is described by his foster as playful, energetic, smart, curious, and overall amazing! T-Bone is a fun loving guy in the house and keeps his fosters entertained with puppy antics and lots of opinions. He has a great temperament and shifts between being independent and seeking affections from his humans. He is very (very!) food motivated and clearly intelligent. He loves enrichment and getting his food through games which ensures he’s not bored. He also loves chasing toys and any kind of play. Out of the house he is a bit more nervous, especially of loud noises and big dogs. He stays close to his fosters and seeks assurance from them. T-Bone is a charming dude and has a delightful personality. He is a looker as well and is always getting attention and praise from everyone he meets. His training is ongoing but he is a quick study and already knows sit, down, come, and is learning paw and roll over. His forever home should be prepared to continue his basic training. In the house T-Bone is crated when left alone and settles within a few minutes with a good kong or chew toy. He is not anxious and seems happy to be left for short periods. Since he is still little he can only be left for an hour or two and requires someone home more often than not in the beginning. T-Bone sleeps through the night in his crate. T-Bone hasn’t had the opportunity to interact with other dogs while he awaits his vaccinations. He seems curious and friendly towards small dogs but is apprehensive and fearful of large dogs. He has not met any cats but would likely do best in a home without cats. He has not met many children but based on his age and demeanour he would like do well with children, but will need proper supervision. T-Bone’s ideal forever home would be an active family who can include him in daily activities and adventures and can commit to his training and ensuring he becomes the best dog he can be. He would do best in a house with a yard and in a quieter neighbourhood. Once fully grown, we anticipate he will be medium or high energy and would benefit from an active family. He will need a family home more often than not with the time and patience to invest in a puppy, continue his training, and provide outlets for his energy. He is an amazing puppy and will make a lucky family very happy. As a condition of the adoption contract, T-Bone’s new family will be required to: Ensure he has an opportunity to go outside every 2-3 hours. If you work full time, this means hiring a dog walker to come in 2x per day for a puppy visit; Attend and complete a basic obedience class at your own cost (proof required); Provide plenty of socialization opportunities – both dog and human – it's important at this stage; Spay/neuter within 6 months of adoption. If done at our partner vet in Mississauga, the spay/neuter will be included in the adoption fee. If you choose to do it elsewhere, it will be done at your own cost. Proof of neuter is required to finalize the adoption. If you’re interested in adopting T-Bone, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form T-Bone’s adoption fee is $1000.
