Story
Flurry is a loyal, affectionate, lost boy who is adrift in life without a loving human anchor. After being pulled from a high-kill Texas shelter by a rescue that ended up abandoning him along with dozens of other dogs, he was left in a dusty pen 24/7, until one day someone dug under the fence, and he and another male dog were able to get into a fight. With so many other dogs on the property, he had to be put in an outdoor kennel and was stuck in there for nearly a year and a half. While the other dogs left on the property found homes one by one; being a bigger dog, and not great with other dogs, he was at the bottom of the list. Finally one day his chance came, and Flurry was offered a spot in a foster home with a bunch of university students in Ontario. He got off the bus and found himself the center of attention for a whole group of people and his world exploded with joy! He just loved every little part of his new experience of being a well-cared-for pet...somehow one minute was even better than the one before it and he was in heaven. The sorrow of his many, many months of waiting in the hot Texas sun for his life to start just melted away. Living inside where it's warm and dry, or cool and dry, with soft places to sleep, and having people to lean on for pets and snuggles seems to be all he ever dreamed of.While he was living with the university kids, people were in and out of the house all the time. He loved it. He had no problem with visitors and welcomed tummy rubs from one and all. As a matter of fact, he expected them, and pretty much insisted that each guest paid a tummy-rub entry fee. He doesn't care who you are or who you vote for as long as you have some time to give him some loving'. He even joined us at our booth at the Outdoor Adventure Show in Toronto, where he was calm and friendly in a crowd of hundreds of people.Incredibly, things got even better for Flurry when he got adopted this spring, by a lovely woman with 3 youngish sons. The family bonded with Flurry deeply from minute one. He had found his soulmate, and she even had 3 new BFFs for him to play and snuggle with. They called him Oliver. It's hard to imagine how life could have been better. Flurry was home.....Until one day, he suddenly lunged at the woman's 70-something year old mother. He had growled at her a few times, but not consistently so the woman disregarded the signs. When the grandma was at the house the time prior to this incident, he was completely fine and normal with her. In retrospect, the woman feels that Flurry displayed this negative attitude towards the grandma only when the boys were present. The woman was absolutely devastated; Flurry had filled a hole in her heart and gave her the constant stream of love and affection she'd been missing. They were a perfect match and she didn't want to lose him. She was prepared to undertake training to overcome this hurdle, but her mother was definitely not. She would no longer help with babysitting the boys until Flurry had been rehomed. We posted him for re-adoption. It felt like an unimaginable blessing to have gotten a new application for him almost immediately! A young couple in Oakville wanted him to be their first dog. They were told all about his background, of course, and we felt optimistic that he'd adapt well to their household as he'd be getting loads of attention and cuddles. The couple understood that he isn't well-socialized with other dogs, but at both his foster home and his home with the woman, he mostly ignored other dogs he'd see on walks and he wasn't described by anyone as being reactive. But it didn't go well. We can't know if it was because his heart was shattered to be taken from his beloved family, or if he just sensed something he didn't like about his new woman, or maybe it was just because his new neighbourhood has more dogs than he'd been used to and he started feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes dogs sense if their handler is intimidated, and become protective. The wife of this couple found him to be difficult to manage on leash walks. She'd never had a big dog who was reactive to other dogs and didn't know how to calm or redirect him, and refused to consult a trainer for support. She became so anxious that Flurry seemed to realize that she didn't really like him, and she made him uncomfortable. Naturally that didn't help their relationship, and after only 10 days with him, she called it quits. It's worth noting that her husband is wild about Flurry, and thinks he's perfect, other than his dislike for his wife. He called Flurry the perfect man's-best-friend. There are quite a few people who've gotten to know him over the past half a year, and they all said the same things about him, that he's super friendly, loves tummy rubs and head scritches and couch cuddling, has been happy with a few regular leash-walks a day, and mostly ignores other dogs. Clearly he can also be reactive towards other dogs, and his adopter should be prepared to learn how to manage this. A rural home or one in an area where he can walk without passing a constant parade of other dogs would be ideal. He's about 80-ish pounds. He's been known to be a pretty mellow guy, whose main thing is chilling out on the couch. Until moving to Oakville, he was described as being quiet and calm and an altogether lovely dog. He's very smart, LOVES to learn, and thrives with someone willing to play training games with him. LOVES his toys, will play as long as someone will play with him. We think he comes with working-dog genes, so he responds very positively to mental stimulation. Although he's been content without tons and tons of exercise, he does love to go on long walks and explore, and he'd probably be happiest with an active lifestyle.

Curry | a young 6 years old | 49 lbs | Toronto area Meet Curry! Here's what his foster has to say about this sweet boy: "He loves human companionship. He loves being around me even when I'm not doing anything. I just get his cot out and place it close to me and he's just happy knowing that he's around me 😂. I could be cooking, working or just resting and he's just happy to be included. He's a social guy but cautious . Any dog that approaches him quickly and is in his face - he will immediately move away. He sometimes barks out of excitement cause he wants to play with the other dog. When comfortable with a dog he'll sometimes choose to play, but other times will be happy just to coexist and do his own thing. He LOVES cats! He'd be fine as the only dog in the house but would also make a great companion to a dog or cat. He goes for 3 walks a day, he spends some time in his crate, hangs out with me and that's much of his day. He loves going on adventures and his recall on a long line is amazing. He does best when he knows what you expect of him. If he forgets what you want from him he's easily redirected. He's really smart so he gets it. He's basically testing out his limits. He has been called handsome and cute on our walks and people love that he's so well trained. He is a reserved guy at first and will need time to get used to a new environment but then he bonds with his people and is very sweet with them. . He approaches my roommates now and gives them kisses. He even sat on one of them today cause he wanted pets. He's a very cuddly boy but he needs time. He needs to feel like he is safe and can trust the people around him. After that is taken care of then you start to see his true self. " We understand! He's been let down by humans multiple times. We are so looking forward to him being in his forever home, and much loved. All he needs is some time and commitment and this boy will be the best friend you've had. We've seen how wonderful he is. We're looking for the person/people who see it too. To adopt Curry, apply at: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

# 🐾 Hello, I'm Harp! 🐾 안녕하세요! That's how I say hello in my native Korean. I'm Harp, a 6-year-old Lab Retriever-Jindo mix with a fluffy white coat that's perfect for snuggles. I'm a bit of a big girl, weighing 23.5 kg, but that just means there's more of me to love. ## My Journey 🏡 My adventure began one autumn day in 2018 when I found myself at an elementary school. The police were called, and I ended up in a shelter, but thankfully, my current rescuer brought me to safety. Now, I'm dreaming of a forever home where I can share all the love in my big heart. ## A Glimpse Into My Heart 💖 I'm all about affection and don't mind showing my belly to anyone who's kind enough to give me a pat. I adore children and am always gentle, especially when snacks are involved. ## My Playful Side 🎾 I'm a friendly gal and like to greet everyone, even dogs I've never met before. I do get a bit overwhelmed by high-energy pups, and I need a careful introduction to new doggy friends, especially if toys are around. ## My Leisure Time 🌳 I love a good romp outdoors, but I'm also quite content to rest quietly after some fun. I'm learning not to pull on the leash and usually follow along nicely. ## My Manners and Quirks 🍽️ I'm not one to guard my food around people, but I do tell other dogs to keep their distance when I'm eating. I'm calm in a kennel and have no trouble hopping into a car for a ride. ## A Little Request 🙏 I might get a bit growly if another dog barks or runs around me too much, but I've never bitten anyone. I'm working on not being possessive over my toys and food, and I could use some help with that. ## Looking for My Human 🏠 Are you the one who will give me the gentle care and patience I need? In return, I promise to be your loyal companion, your playful partner, and a source of endless affection. For more videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jw66dM68ClYUbI05X1rzHzi

Story
I'm Becky, a 5-year-old female Labrador Retriever looking for my forever home. I've had a bit of a rough start, being abandoned near a rural chicken coop, but thanks to some kind souls, I've been rescued. I'm a social butterfly with a heart as big as my paws. It doesn't take me long to warm up to new people—I'll be nudging you for pets and belly rubs in no time. I get along great with other dogs, always up for a playdate and ready to make new friends. However, I do have a bit of a protective soul, so if another dog challenges me, I might stand my ground. Just something to keep in mind. I'm well-behaved on walks, although I might need a gentle reminder not to pull too hard on the leash. When it comes to strangers, I'll give a little bark to let you know someone's approaching, but I'm calm and collected in my kennel. I'm an outdoor enthusiast when it comes to bathroom breaks—I prefer the great outdoors for that. And did I mention how smart I am? I've mastered basic commands like sit, paw, and stay. I might not guard my food, but if another dog tries to sneak a nibble, I'll definitely let out a warning growl. So, what do you say? Are you ready for a lifetime of tail wags, paw prints, and unconditional love? If you think we could be the perfect match, come meet me! I can't wait to bring joy and companionship to your home.

Story
Introducing Duke!! Duke is a senior dog looking for a nice retirement home during his golden years. He arrived as a stray and we were unable to find his previous owners. Duke really seems like a one-man dog. He’s loyal to his human, doesn’t care for strangers or other animals, and would prefer to have all the TLC for himself! He enjoys playing outside, going for long walks, and entertains himself with chew toys. SO MANY CHEW TOYS!! Duke may have some mild resource guarding with his toys. He’s not a fan of sharing while playing but will trade for something more valuable. For this reason, a home with young children is not recommended. Duke is all healthy despite having a minor issue with his ear which has been recovering amazingly with treatment! We would be happy to provide a copy of his medical records for review with your own vet prior to adoption! If you are interested in our boy, please contact Toronto Animal Services West Region at (416) 338-PAWS (7297) between 10:30AM - 6:30PM for more information about Duke!

FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!! ***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form*** We would love to welcome Martha into the Fetch + Releash family on September 15, 2024 (subject to change). In order for Martha 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 her 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Martha / Female / 1.5 years / 60 pounds / Lab Mix / from Tennessee Introducing Martha, a delightful Lab mix hailing all the way from Tennessee. This vibrant and playful sweetheart is on the lookout for her forever family, and she can't wait to bring joy and companionship to a loving home. Martha, along with her equally charming littermates, loves soaking up the attention from her trusted people and playing with furry friends. Due to where she currently resides, she has limited exposure to new people so it is expected for her to be a little shy at first. She is the most confident of her siblings but with a drastic change to her environment it is likely she will need time to adjust to her new surroundings. Giving her time to decompress once in her new home will allow her true colours to come alive. Her loving nature makes her an ideal fit for a family setting, where her playful personality can shine. Martha has grown up with her littermates and enjoys having canine companions. She currently lives alongside another dog who is larger than her. We feel she would 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 are provided with other canine friends. Martha 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 be excitable and jump up. Dog savvy children (8 years+) would be best for her future home. 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 Martha learns how to live the good life in Canada. Martha has never been exposed to cats but we feel as though a home with a feline would not be the right match for her. Martha's future family will find joy in incorporating training sessions, building routines, and setting gentle boundaries to ensure her success. If you're ready to welcome a bundle of love and energy into your home, Martha is eager to become your loyal companion. Let's make Martha's dreams of a forever home come true – could you be the one to bring her home? If you’re interested in fostering with the intention of adopting, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Martha's adoption fee is $850 To learn more about our adoption fees and the foster-to-adopt process, please visit our FAQs at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/about-us#about-faqs.

Hammy’s foster describes him as the silliest, happiest, and goofiest boy around! Hammy came to us from Tennessee where he was surrendered when his previous owner could no longer care for him. At only a year and a half old, he’s ready to put his past behind him and start a new adventure in Canada! Hammy is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves going for walks, playing games, and snuggling with his favourite humans. He definitely enjoys being around his people. He is a big snuggler and loves to lay his head in his human’s lap for a little snooze. Around new people at first he may react by jumping and barking. His ideal home would be an adult only home with experienced owners. Hammy would do best in a low key home with a calm atmosphere where he is the only dog-although he would do well with a resident cat. A condo would not be recommended due to potential to be in close proximity with other dogs he may react to. He would love a fenced yard to run in, but it’s not a necessity. Hammy is a medium high energy boy who will need multiple walks a day. He loves his walks so much he sometimes brings a stuffed toy with him to show off. He is currently working on his loose leash walking and is making great progress. He will pull when he sees wildlife but his fosters are working on this with him. Hammy is very food motivated and eager to please his people. He does very well with training. He knows sit, down, spin, and touch. He has been left alone all day and is given free reign of the house with no issues. Hammy is such a special boy who may take some time to warm up, but once he does, he will be your best friend for life! He has some unique requirements for his home, but if given the right set up-he will flourish! Hammy’s adoption fee is $850.

Story
Hello there! I'm Peggy, a delightful two-year-old Golden Retriever/Poodle mix(based on my look) with a heart full of love and a spirit as bright as the sun. My story began in the heart of Turkey, where I found myself abandoned and alone, my once-shiny coat marred by patches of fur loss due to relentless mange. Despite the challenges, my eyes tell a tale of resilience—a spirit not yet broken. Rescue Story: In the Turkish forest, a rescue familiar with the plight of abandoned animals stumbled upon me. Skilled veterinarians treated my mange, provided nourishment, and slowly transformed the patches of bare skin into a soft coat. I became a favorite among the rescue staff, my wagging tail and appreciative eyes telling a tale of gratitude. Recently I live in a kennel in Turkey. Character: I'm a social butterfly always ready to shower affection on anyone who crosses my path. My tail wags with excitement, and my eyes sparkle with a playful energy that's contagious. My love for humans knows no bounds, making me the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal and loving friend. Interactions: I get along well with other dogs, embracing the joy of shared play and companionship. While my interactions with cats are unknown, my friendly and adaptable nature suggests that I may welcome cat friends with the right introduction and time to adjust. Adventurous Spirit: I'm an adventurer at heart, enjoying the outdoors, sniffing out new scents, and basking in the warmth of the sun. Interactive toys and games bring out my playful side, and I delight in the company of both human and canine companions. Yet, my favorite pastime is undoubtedly cuddling up with my human, reveling in the comfort of shared moments. Ideal Home: I'm seeking a forever home where my social nature can truly blossom. An environment with humans who appreciate my love for companionship and the possibility of furry friends for playtime would make my tail wag with happiness. My adaptable personality makes me an excellent addition to families or individuals looking for a loyal and affectionate dog. Training and Health: My energy level is moderate, and I already know how to walk with a leash. I'm comfortable on the leash, but please be prepared to train me or continue training. No health issues here—I'm fully vaccinated, neutered (Rabies, KC, and DHPP), and microchipped. If you're ready to open your heart to a loving and resilient companion, I'm here, ready to embark on a new chapter filled with shared adventures and cherished moments. Apply for adoption today and be prepared for a lifetime of joy with Peggy! Peggy can fly to Toronto or Vancouver when she finds her forever home!
