FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
We would love to welcome Ava into the Fetch + Releash family April 14, 2024 subject to change. In order for Ava 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.

Ava / Female / 8 months / 25 pounds / Australian Shepherd Mix / from Tennessee
Ava's journey started when she fell into the care of our partner at a tender 14 weeks of age. Despite her undeniable charm, she's been overlooked by local rescue partners, so now we're stepping in to make sure this loving girl finds her forever home.
Since Ava has spent the majority of her young life in rescue, she hasn't had the opportunity for training. But she's a true blank slate, ready for someone committed to guiding her through the basics and beyond. As a bundle of energy, she's the epitome of a playful pup, and she thrives on both physical and mental stimulation. Multiple daily walks and engaging doggy enrichment activities are key to keeping her happy and content. Potty training, crate training and proper leash walking will only be the start of Ava's training. Play based training will help build as strong bond as well as an obedient and loyal companion.
Ava's heart is drawn to the water, and she finds pure joy in playing with a hose. A dream come true for her would be a new life near a lake or joining a family with a cottage where she can splash and play to her heart's content.
She's currently living alongside an older dog and has learned much from her wise companion. Ava would thrive in a home with an older, balanced dog to show her the ropes and share the joy of everyday life.
Ava is adaptable and can fit into any type of living situation, as long as her exercise and mental stimulation needs are met. She's an outgoing and happy girl, always ready to brighten your day with her infectious enthusiasm and affection. Although she has not been tested with kids her temperament suggests she would get along well with dog savvy children.
Are you ready to let this burst of joy become the light of your life. Ava is ready to be your loyal companion, bringing happiness and love to your days.
As a condition of the adoption contract, Ava’s new family will be required to attend and complete a basic obedience class at their own cost (proof required).
