Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sonja is available for Foster to Adopt!!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
As a foster-to-adopt family, you will 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.
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.
Sonja / Female / 8 years old / 47 lbs / Mixed Breed / Dog Selective / No Cats / Untested with Children / From Mexico / Fostered in Mississauga
Here comes one of our senior girls, Sonja! Although most would label her as a "senior girl," she has the energy of a puppy when it comes to play time. She’s a very sassy lady, opinionated, and takes what she knows she deserves, like a comfy spot on the bed or some time in the backyard. The way she plays chase, tug, and fetch is very much like a silly puppy, so age is just a number. She enjoys being with her foster family whether it's cuddling up to watch some TV or chewing on her favourite antler. Sonja enjoys playing fetch and chase so don't be surprised if she tries to convince you to keep playing.
Sonja would love a quiet neighbourhood that would allow her to build her confidence with her trusted people. In just a few short months with her current foster, she is adjusting well to domesticated life and has a willingness to meet with dogs and other people, however her foster must advocate well for her and know how to take charge of situations. She is looking for a true love kind of deal with lots of cuddle time. If your hands are free, she will paw at you to give her scratches, so be prepared to set aside some undetermined amount of time for pets at her leisure. She’s content with a few short walks a day but would appreciate a yard so she can sit outside somewhere quiet and familiar.
Sonja is dog-selective. She will surprise you by liking some dogs and disliking others. She could potentially live with another dog but will require proper introductions. Sonja is looking for a cat free home.
Sonja is a polite house mate. Sonja does enjoy being gated more so this is something her new family may want to consider. Sonja is still working on basic training. She knows her name, sit, paw, touch and wait so far. She is currently working on her recall with a squeaker and is doing very well. She is a very smart lady and has picked up on her training really well. She is quite food motivated so should pick up basic commands quickly.
If you're searching for a loyal, affectionate, and active companion to be a cherished part of your family, Sonja is ready to fill that role. Her resilience and loving nature will warm your heart and bring joy to your home. Adopt Sonja, and you'll have a devoted and loving friend for life.
Sonja is a flight risk and our top priority in her furever home is safety. Her forever family must take precautions to keep her safe and secure, including the purchase of a GPS tracker which will be required for adoption.
Sonja has Enamel Hypoplasia which is the thinning of the enamel on her teeth. Homecare will help with brushing, but she may require professional dental cleaning in the future. Sonja should avoid hard chews, toys, and treats as her teeth will be more prone to breaking during play.
If you're interested in fostering with the intention of adopting Sonja, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form
Sonja's adoption fee is $250. To learn more about our adoption fees and the adoption process, please visit our FAQs at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/about-us#about-faqs.

More about this rescue
Established in 2016, Fetch + Releash is a volunteer run dog rescue dedicated to saving dogs in need. Our foster dogs come from a variety of different backgrounds such as shelters, strays and surrendered pets, both locally and abroad. Through our network of volunteers, foster homes, trainers and veterinarians, we strive to give every dog the loving forever family they deserve. As a foster-based rescue, our dogs live in private homes across the Greater Toronto Area where they receive the love and attention they need to ready them for adoption.
A dog is a lifetime commitment and not to be discarded due to health, lifestyle change or inconvenience. Some of the top reasons dogs end up in shelters are lack of training, lifestyle changes (i.e. new baby, marriage), relocation, cost of dog ownership, not enough time for pet etc. Our goal is to ensure our adoptive families are well versed in the realities of dog ownership and ready to make a lifetime commitment.
