FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
We would love to welcome Rocket into the Fetch + Releash family April 14th, 2024, subject to change. In order for Rocket to come into our care, we need a committed family. As a foster-to-adopt family, you'll be expected to take him home on his 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.

Rocket / Male / 1 year/ 50 pounds / Australian Cattle Dog Mix / from Tennessee
Rocket is a little red dynamo who's been in the care of our partner since he was just a wee pup. Despite his undeniable charm, he's been repeatedly overlooked by rescues, leaving us in awe of the hidden gem that Rocket truly is. This sweet, cuddle-loving, and adorably goofy boy is ready to find his forever family, and he's about to take your heart by storm!
Rocket is ready for the journey towards a loving home. He may not have had the best start in life, but he's an open book, free from past traumas. As he hasn't received any training thus far, his new family will need to be dedicated to working with him on all the basics. From crate training to potty training, leash manners, and mastering essential commands like sit, down, and stay – Rocket is eager to learn and please. Having spent his entire life outdoors, patience in potty training will be crucial.
Rocket's breed is known for its herding instincts, so it's essential that his future family understands his unique needs. Mental enrichment, such as slow feeders and puzzle toys, combined with intentional physical exercise, like walks, tug-of-war, and fetch, will be key to keeping Rocket both physically and mentally happy. For those looking to go above and beyond, activities like agility or other training will provide the perfect outlet for his abundant energy. He will require at least 2-3 walks per day no shorter than 30 minutes.
Young and eager to impress, Rocket is destined to be the heartwarming addition to your family that you've been searching for. Don't miss the chance to make him your very own. Contact us today and let Rocket rocket his way into your life, bringing boundless love, laughter, and energy to your home. He's ready to shine bright in his forever family's sky!
