Story

Cosmo / Male / 3 Years / 65lbs / Australian Shepherd/Labrador / Dog Selective / Good with Older Children/ Untested with Cats / Fostered in Milton Cosmo is a striking, intelligent shepherd-mix with a deeply sensitive and thoughtful nature. In a calm, predictable environment, he is affectionate, playful, and forms strong bonds with the people he trusts. When he feels safe, Cosmo enjoys relaxing near his humans, spending time on the couch or nearby on the floor, and engaging with enrichment that allows him to decompress and settle. Cosmo thrives with routine, clarity, and low-pressure interactions. He responds best when given space and choice, and he shows excellent potential when his nervous system is supported. He loves food-based enrichment, stuffed toys, sniffing activities, and long-lasting chews, all of which help him regulate and feel secure. Inside the home, he is calm, house-trained, and not destructive when his needs are met. Cosmo can become overwhelmed in busy or unpredictable environments. He is sensitive to excess noise, movement, unfamiliar visitors, and close proximity to other dogs, and he benefits from thoughtful management that reduces trigger stacking. He does best with calm, respectful dogs when given adequate space and has shown the ability to self-regulate during structured, low-pressure social experiences. Cosmo is not suited to a home with young children, as fast movement and unpredictability increase his anxiety. Cosmo has worked with professional behavioural support and responds best to force-free handling, long-line walks in quiet natural settings, and environments that prioritize emotional safety over exposure. With consistency and continued support, he demonstrates curiosity, connection, and the ability to build confidence at a steady pace. Cosmo is looking for an experienced, patient home that understands sensitive dogs and values calm, predictable routines. His ideal home would be a quiet household — ideally rural or semi-rural — with access to safe outdoor space where he can decompress without frequent triggers. He would do best with minimal visitors and guardians who are committed to continuing his confidence-building, low-pressure lifestyle. Cosmo may thrive as an only dog or with a calm, well-matched canine companion following careful introductions. In the right environment, Cosmo is a deeply loyal and gentle companion — a dog who finds joy in quiet moments, meaningful connection, and the comfort of being truly understood. If you’re interested in adopting Cosmo, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form. Cosmo’s adoption fee is $850.

Story

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

Story

Meet CoCo Name: CoCo Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Border Collie Mix Color: Black / White / Brown Weight: 10 kg Height: 43–45 cm (shoulder height) Rescue Story CoCo was rescued on November 19, 2025, from a severe animal hoarding case involving over 200 dogs. He was extremely fearful of people when first rescued, but after one month in a foster home, he has made remarkable progress and has learned that humans can be kind and safe. With People CoCo may be a little shy at first, but once treats come out, he quickly warms up and starts trusting. After he bonds with someone, he enjoys being touched and can even be picked up by supporting his belly. When he feels close to you, he will roll over and show his tummy as a sign of affection. His confidence with people has grown significantly — he now shows interest in people on walks and has recently started paying special attention to women, sometimes wanting to follow them. He also prefers to sleep close to his people. With Other Dogs CoCo is generally neutral toward other dogs. He doesn’t seek out play and usually ignores dogs that approach him. However, he can feel nervous around dogs larger than himself. If another dog acts pushy or challenging, CoCo chooses to avoid the situation rather than react. With Cats & Birds When he sees cats on walks, he may look at them with curiosity, but he will follow his handler when guided. He may show a brief chasing response toward birds. Energy Level CoCo has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and especially loves walking, running, and moving. After exercise, he settles down well and relaxes calmly. On Walks CoCo loves walks and prefers brisk walking or jogging over sniffing. He does pull on leash, but he follows his handler and is currently practicing better leash manners. He has recently become more interested in people while walking, which can distract him, so continued training will help. At Home & Other Notes • No food guarding with people or dogs • Rarely barks, but may bark to ask for something • May whine briefly in a kennel, then settles • Jumps into and out of the car on his own • Uses both pee pads and outdoor potty • Not very interested in toys • Knows “sit” and “paw,” currently learning “down” • Recently showing some separation anxiety — gradual alone-time training is recommended • Has chewed phone charging cables, so wires should be kept out of reach • Currently teething, so safe chew toys are important • Not food-obsessed, but happily takes treats CoCo is a gentle, sensitive, and affectionate boy who has overcome a difficult past. With patience, structure, and love, he will continue to grow into a loyal and wonderful companion Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Story

Quick Facts • Name: Choco• Age: 2 years old• Gender: Male• Neutered: Yes• Breed: Border Collie Mix• Color: Black and Brown• Weight: 13 kg / 28.6 lbs• Microchip: Yes My HealthI’ve had all my vaccinations completed and tested negative for heartworm in November 2024. I also had surgery on both of my hind knees in May 2025, and my vet said everything went perfectly. I’m walking and playing like a champ! I’m healthy, active, and ready for adventures with the right guidance. My PersonalityI’m a sensitive and observant boy. New places and new faces make me cautious at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm up quickly. I love people and, once I trust you, I’ll come right over for pets, cuddles, and a little attention. I have a gentle and affectionate side that shines once I feel safe. My Social Life• With People: I take a moment to get comfortable with new humans, but I love showing affection to those I trust. I haven’t met young children yet, so I’d do best with older kids or adults who understand gentle communication and can give me time to adjust.• With Other Dogs: I enjoy meeting other dogs, especially those my size or a bit smaller. I feel more confident when other dog friends are around and love peaceful playtime.• With Cats: I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m open to learning and meeting them slowly. On My WalksWalks are exciting and full of discovery! I sometimes feel unsure around new sights or sounds, but with gentle guidance, I quickly find my courage. I enjoy following my human’s lead and exploring at a calm, curious pace. Life at HomeI’m a calm and easygoing housemate once I’ve settled in. I don’t guard my food with people, though I may give a gentle “hands-off” signal to other dogs at mealtime. I use both indoor pads and outdoor spaces for potty. I’m good at letting you know if I need something or if I spot a stranger. I can get a bit car sick and might mark a little when visiting a new place, but with time and patience, I adjust quickly. My Ideal HomeI’d thrive in a home with patient, loving humans who understand that a little time and training will help me shine. Someone who enjoys helping a boy build confidence and exploring the world with care would be perfect. I’m a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your devoted friend once I feel secure and loved. I can’t wait to meet my forever family and share all my love and loyalty every single day. For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Choco’s YouTube Playlist ##2516970##
