Story
Ello again... In case you forgot, I'm Gretzky. I've been in foster care for a long time now and I've really got a good schedule down. I'll tell you about it if you want.... First I wake up and am excited to go potty outside. It's one of my favorite times and I may bark or nip your butt with excitement. Don't worry, I'm not /that/ excited. I just really have to pee. Then I come inside and lay on my beddy. It's my favorite spot. Unfortunately, I'm what my foster calls 'a babe magnet.' This means my canine and feline roommates will come to snuggle in my beddy with me, even in very warm temperatures. I don't understand it either. So we spend the next several hours rotating beddies until lunch, when we go back outside. Much sleeping is had. And snacks. Then the garage door opens and my room mates and I loose our collective minds because foster M'mam is home! I love her. And it means we get to do the best thing ever: walkies. I love pooping when I'm on a leash. I love walking. I don't need to smell anything, I don't care. I just like to walk. Especially in the woods! Sometimes we will see people on our walk. It makes me very nervous. Sometimes they will ask to pet me. I tell them 'No Thank You' by desperately trying to get away from them. Then I am edgy the rest of the walk. What if they secretly pop out of a bush to pet me?? Sometimes my foster M'mam will lock me in the bathroom and pet me. I've gotten used to this strange habit, but I don't really like it. Then, after food smells (sometimes I get veggie scraps to chew on) and screen time, I get my pill treat and it's time for bed. I bet you thought I forgot snack and drinking breaks. I didn't. After the lights go off, I remember I need water to survive and chug all the water. Then I vomit out the extra. Then, I will often drink the extra off the floor. I don't want to make a mess. This is probably why I'm so eager to pee in the morning. So that is my life. It's way better than it was. My foster keeps trying to push me to do bigger and better things. But it's hard! I need someone with patience and who won't expect too much from me... I won't expect much from you either! I just want walks and to feel safe and protected.

Story
As Fortune approaches two years in foster care, everyone who knows him is asking the same question: How has this wonderful boy not been adopted yet? Fortune is a sweet, gentle Great Pyrenees mix who's simply looking for a patient family willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe. Once he trusts you, you'll have one of the most loyal companions you could ask for. Fortune is truly an easy dog to live with. He's fully potty trained, dog-door trained, and non-destructive when left home alone. He settles into a routine beautifully and asks for very little—just a safe place, a little patience, and someone to love. One of Fortune's favorite activities is going for walks, and he's an absolute gentleman on a leash. He also loves car rides, making him the perfect road trip companion. At home, you'll often find him relaxing in the sunshine or happily patrolling the yard, always keeping an eye out for squirrels, rabbits, and other critters. When he feels safe, he loves to run and explore, so a securely fenced yard is required. Fortune enjoys being brushed, does well during baths, and settles nicely in his kennel. With his low-to-medium energy level, he's just as happy lounging around the house as he is exploring the backyard. Fortune is shy, especially around men, and needs adopters who understand that trust takes time. He'll thrive with a family that allows him to adjust at his own pace and celebrates the little victories along the way. Watching him gain confidence is incredibly rewarding. He gets along well with other dogs but should be fed separately due to mild food guarding. Fortune is not cat-friendly and would do best in a home with children 14 years or older. At a healthy 70 pounds, Fortune is ready to find the forever family he's been waiting for. Fortune's Adoption Includes: A lifetime best friend A complete DNA panel A FREE Fi GPS smart collar Six months of free Fi membership A $100 adoption fee refund after completing an approved positive reinforcement obedience class through Fetch Foster and Rescue If you've been looking for a calm, loyal companion who just needs someone to believe in him, Fortune is ready to meet you. Apply to adopt Fortune today: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Fortune D.O.B: 09/24/2021 Breed: Great Pyrenees Mix Sex: Male Weight: 80 lbs Altered: Yes Adoption Fee: $400 solo, or $600 if you take me and my sister Cookie (double the floof, double the fun!)

Hello! It me Crosby! I’m back at Fetch and looking for a new forever home.  I’m a very unique and special boy. I will test your patience and make your heart melt in all kinds of ways.  A little more about me: I’m a bit frenzied. Part nature for a herding breed, and part nurture from less than ideal early years. I’m great at settling in and cuddling. But I get worked up easily when it’s time to move and my switch flips to on, no dimmer!!  Here’s a long list of things I absolutely love: - Other dogs and making new dog friends. I play nicer with dogs bigger than me as I tend to overwhelm dogs my size or smaller.  - People and getting nice pets and cuddles. - Toys!! Every single kind. - Treats!!!  - Car rides. - Leashed walks. - Exploring and running around outside in the yard.  I have seizures and take medicine twice daily on a schedule to keep under control. My medications require annual bloodwork and all should be considered when budgeting for vet care.  I’m also taking medicine for anxiety. However, I am far less anxious on a daily basis when I’m not left home alone often.  I have some balance issues and walk with a slight wobble, or I sometimes slip or topple around when I get worked up and excited. But it doesn’t seem to bother me. I’m like a little bouncy ball and keep bopping around as usual.  Potty trained? Eh, sort of. I often have an accident when I’m home alone. Basically, expect it to happen. I know potty belongs outside but I sometimes lack focus when it’s time to do my business, and I drink A LOT of water. I’d do best in a home with - - Someone who is home more often than not. I get very anxious when I’m left alone.  - Another playful dog. - A fenced in yard. I have unmatched adorableness and charm, even with my quirks. I’ve never met a person that doesn’t think I’m the cutest little dude, and I provide endless amounts of entertainment and laughs with my goofy personality.  If you’d be a good fit, and have room in your heart and your home for a sweet boy like me, send in an adoption application for me (Crosby) today! I will be so excited to meet you!!!  Apply today: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Crosby D.O.B: 11/29/18 Breed: Herding Mix Sex: Male Weight: 38 lbs Altered: Yes Adoption Fee: $400  Good with cats: Unknown.

Special Requirements: A fenced in yard, another playful dog in the home, someone who is home more often then they are not. *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member.

I’M FREE! After 10 months in a small cage, I’m finally out and learning what it means to be a puppy. WOOHOO! I’m Russell, and I’m ready to make up for lost time. I’m looking for an active, patient family with another dog to run and play with — bonus points for a fenced yard where I can really let loose. I’m doing great with house training, and I’m working on my leash manners and getting comfortable in my crate. Now that I’ve discovered toys (and, okay, also magazines ), I’m all about chewing, playing, and exploring everything I missed out on. I’ve got a lot of energy and I’m eager to learn — I just need you to help me burn it off with walks, runs, and plenty of stimulation. Think we could be a match? Apply for me — I’m Russell, and I can’t wait to meet you!

Every dog is different, but here is some information on what bringing a breeder dog into your home can be like and some supports they may need to transition into their new life!

Story
Howdy partners! My name is Bronco and you`ll hear this hound bark from a mile away. I`m an active but independent guy who likes to keep his circle small and the treat bin full. I`m hoping to find me a family of adventurers who is looking to grow their pack by four paws. And just for the record, I ain`t interested in any of this `getting left behind` stuff. I was lucky enough to find my way to the shelter the first time, but when I leave here it will be for the last time because you and me will be the forever kind of stuff.

Hi, I’m Zoey! My smile goes for a million miles — which is exactly how far I can run! Don’t worry, though, I won’t run away from you. After a hard day of play, all I want is to snuggle up with you, because I’ve earned it! I’m very active, but I’m just as content watching you go about your morning or afternoon routine while I entertain myself. I have learned to give you my best puppy dog eyes while you’re busy, though — just to make sure I get some extra attention! I even love hopping into my crate for a little rest all on my own. I’m still working on my manners when I get excited to say hi — I used to jump up a lot, but I’m learning that I get way more love by keeping all four paws on the ground! I am eager to please and eager for attention, in whatever form it comes. The birds, rabbits, and squirrels around here haven’t caught on yet — they just run and fly away instead of sticking around to chat. Don’t they know how to have a conversation?! My tongue isn’t just for panting — it’s also for giving you all the kisses you could ever want. I’ll wrap my paws around yours and keep you close… as long as there aren’t any socks or Crocs nearby to distract me. I swear, “I thought that was a toy!” comes out of my mouth (sort of) way too often. They taste great — you should try it sometime! (Kidding. Mostly.) I always go potty outside, where I like to take care of business — and I definitely mix business with pleasure. I love big dogs and little dogs alike, though the little ones have a hard time keeping up with me. I can be a bit of a bull in a china shop around other dogs, and sometimes on leash too — but I’m working hard with my foster mom on not overpowering her on our walks. I think she’s just afraid of getting as ripped as I am. What a punk! I need a home that’s active, both physically and mentally. I do just fine on my own, but I love frequent playtime with other dogs — and I’d be thrilled to have a sibling my size to keep me company all day, though I don’t need one to be happy. A fenced yard would be amazing, but I’m great on a leash too. Either way, I know I can lead you to happiness for the rest of forever, if you’ll just say yes and adopt me!
