Story

Hi. This is my daughter's dog. He's a 1 1/2 yr old 40 lb love bug. Loves going on hikes. Great with people and kids. Problem is he has started getting really aggressive with her older dog. Jealousy issues. It's gotten to a point where she has to keep them separated. Which isn't fair for either dog because there's a lot of kennel time. (Also good with a kennel.) She's really having a hard time with this. She also has a cat. He doesn't attack it but loves to chase it. The cat is like 12 or 13 years old so now just pretty much lives under her bed. Would recommend a single dog home. He's a really great looking pooch. Smart as hell. Just a sad situation. My daughter loves him so much and vice vice versa

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

Meet Chuck — the best Chuck you’ll ever know. You’ve heard of Chuck Norris, Chuck Berry, and Chuck E. Cheese… but none of them can hold a candle to this guy. Chuck spent his early life working as a breeder, and now he’s finally ready to trade that in for belly rubs, car rides, and a real home to call his own. This sweet boy loves cruising with the windows down, playing outside, getting his ears scratched, and curling up in a cozy bed at the end of the day. Because he’s still learning the ropes of just being a dog, Chuck would love a canine sibling to show him how it’s done (and to be his new best friend). Chuck is great with kids, and while we haven’t tested the waters with cats yet, he’s such an easygoing guy that we think he’d do just fine. If you’re ready for your next adventure buddy, just remember one name: Chuck. You can apply for me at: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Chuck D.O.B: 12/24/18 Breed: Poodle mix Sex: Male Weight: 18.8 lbs Altered: Yes Adoption: 400 Good with Cats: Untested, but probably Good with Dogs: Yes, other dogs are just fine!

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! While it can be challenging at first, it is incredibly rewarding to see these dogs grow and come out of their shells.

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!)

Story

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!
