FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
We would love to welcome Jessie into the Fetch + Releash family April 28th, 2024, subject to change. In order for Jessie to come into our care, we need a committed family. As a foster-to-adopt family, you'll be expected to take him/her home on his/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.

Jessie / Female / 1 year / 31 pounds / Heeler Mix / from Tennessee
Introducing Jessie, a resilient soul looking for her forever home! Despite facing some tough times, this sweet pup is ready to embrace a brighter future with a loving family.
Jessie's journey began when she was surrendered by a caring older gentleman, who, unfortunately, could no longer provide the care she deserved. Alongside three other furry friends, Jessie found herself in a small, unkempt pen, longing for the comfort and companionship she craved. Despite the challenges she's faced, Jessie's spirit remains unbroken.
Living in such conditions has left Jessie a bit shy and withdrawn. She may initially seem reserved, but underneath her timid exterior lies a world of love waiting to be discovered. Jessie finds solace in the company of other canines and would make a great second dog. She has a truly lively spirit with a zest for life that would make her an amazing adventure buddy.
While Jessie is unfamiliar with the concept of leash walking she would benefit from a home with a yard while working on desensitizing her. She may freeze up at first, but with patience and understanding, she'll soon find her stride. Jessie has never had the joy of living indoors so she will also need consistency with potty training. Her new family should be committed to working with her through all basic training and general obedience. With the right environment and a patient hand, Jessie is destined to blossom into the confident and loving companion she was always meant to be.
Jessie currently lives alongside another dog; having a confident canine companion in her new home will help show her that her new world isn't so scary. She has not been tested with kids or cats and we feel that a calmer environment will allow her true colours to shine through much sooner.
With a little time, patience, and a whole lot of love, Jessie promises to be the loyal companion you've been dreaming of.
As a condition of her adoption, Jessie is required to wear a Tractive brand GPS collar. The cost of the device and subscription will be the responsibility of her adoptive family.
