FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
We would love to welcome Betty into the Fetch + Releash family on September 15th, 2024 (subject to change). In order for Betty to come into our care, we need a committed family. As a foster-to-adopt family, you'll be expected to take her home on her 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.

Betty / Female / 1.5 years / 60 lbs / Lab Mix / Loving and Playful / From Tennessee
Introducing Betty, a delightful Lab mix hailing all the way from Tennessee. This black beauty is on the lookout for her forever family, and she can't wait to bring joy and companionship to a loving home.
Betty has boundless enthusiasm for playtime. Whether with her humans or canine friends, Betty is happy go lucky. When she arrives in her new home her family will need to be patient as it is important allow her to decompress. She has only known a life outdoors and it will be a big change of environment. A home with a yard would be best as she is so used to having space to run and play.
She may be shy at first but slow exposure to new experiences and people will allow her to flourish at her own pace. Her loving nature makes her an ideal fit for a family setting, where her affectionate and playful personality can shine.
Betty has grown up with her littermates and enjoys having canine companions. She is currently living alongside another dog her size who matches her playful energy. We feel she could be equally happy to be the only dog in her new home to soak up all the attention for herself as long as proper socialization and play time is provided allowing her to make new friends.
Betty is ready to continue learning and growing with her forever family. While she's developed well, ongoing guidance and reminders about her size will help her flourish in her new environment, especially around children as she can tend to jump up when excited. She loves to give hugs so a home with doggy savvy children (8 years +) would be most suitable. Her new family will need to be committed to working with her on all the basics. Everything from crate training, potty training, walking on leash and basic commands. Her family should expect to spend time offering several opportunities per day to walk, play, and provide enrichment as Betty learns how to live the good life in Canada.
Betty’s future family will find joy in incorporating training sessions, building routines, and setting boundaries to ensure her success. If you're looking to enrich your life with a furry friend who will bring warmth and excitement into your home, Betty is the perfect match. Betty is patiently waiting for a family to call her own, ready to fill your home with love and laughter. Open your heart to Betty, and together you will create life long memories.
