FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
We would love to welcome Faith into the Fetch + Releash family July 7th (subject to change). In order for Faith 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 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.

Faith / Female / 3.5 yrs / 51 pounds / Dalmatian Mix / Sweet and Independent / Deaf / Medium Energy
Meet Faith, the ultimate sweetheart looking for a loving home after being abandoned along with three other dogs when her owners moved away. Found tied up outside, it's suspected she spent her entire life in this situation, but her spirit remains bright.
Although initially she can be shy, Faith is blossoming with love and attention since her rescue. Her confidence is growing, and she's discovered a newfound love for toys, showcasing adorable zoomies in her pen. Faith can get excited when she sees her trusted people and jumps up with excitement. Making a structured routine, boundaries and continued training are crucial to ensure she reaches her full potential.
To ensure her well-being, an experienced family who can learn and use sign commands for training would be ideal. A family with older, dog-savvy children or a child-free home is recommended. While a yard would be nice, it's not a deal-breaker as long as her physical needs are met. Even though we do not know anything about Faith’s past, her new people will need to be committed to working with her on training from the basics. Skills like house training, crate training and walking on leash will all need to be worked on. She is so eager to please her humans that training will be a great bonding experience for all. Faith will need at least two walks per day and opportunities to go to the bathroom. Doggy enrichment like puzzle toys and snuffle matts will also aid in help keeping this girl happy and fulfilled.
Faith, with her gentle and loving nature, is ready to make her forever family feel cherished. If you're ready to open your heart and provide the patience and structure she needs, Faith is waiting to become a beloved member of your home. Let's give her the chance to experience the warmth and care of a forever family.
