Meet Yara! Yara was rescued after being dumped in a scrapyard in Egypt when she was just a few months old. She was nursed back to health and has since made the big trip to Canada. Yara's fosters describe her as a completely loveable little lady. She is gentle, polite, and affectionate. She can be a bit shy to start out but once she knows you, it is love and pets all day long. She will bring her head to your hand and just rest there.
With people she knows, Yara is friendly and prefers to be nearby where she can soak up attention when she wants, or just be close to her pack. Yara can be hesitant, and sometimes vocal, when meeting new people so slow introductions are crucial. She needs time to observe and feel safe in new surroundings and with new people. Yara has had mixed experiences with children in the past, so we are recommending a child-free home at this time.
The ideal home for Yara would be with a family that will include her in daily activities and advocate for her when out. A home in a quieter neighbourhood would be best as Yara is nervous of loud noises and busy streets. A yard where she can explore and lounge would be a bonus as she loves to be outside. Access to greenspace will be a necessity for Yara. Yara is a true sweetheart, who likes to take things slow. She is ready for a patient family who is willing to help her feel safe and loved.
Yara needs proper, slow introductions with other dogs. She can be reactive with dogs on the street, especially if they are bigger than her. That being said, Yara has lived with other dogs in the past and done well. She enjoyed going for walks together and having their company in the house. Yara prefers the company of a calm, smaller dog. Yara has lived with cats in the past, but does have a high prey drive, so a cat-free home would be best.
Yara absolutely loves being outdoors and enjoys walks, especially ones involving nature trails. Exploring new smells and places is one of her favourite things to do. She also loves to climb up on walls, or logs, as she explores. Yara thoroughly enjoys walks and is making good progress with loose leash training. That said, she will pull if she sees squirrels or birds and can be reactive in busy environments. A quiet neighbourhood street is her dream ‘go for a walk’ scenario.
Yara is wonderful within the house. She has great manners and does well when left alone. She was crate-trained in the past, but shows no signs of anxiety or destructive behaviours so she is able to free roam. Yara tends not to use her crate in the house but does enjoy having it when she goes for car rides. Yara is not super food-motivated, but you can win her over with chicken and cheese. She already knows her basic commands and is house-trained. She enjoys playing with a snuffle-mat after she has finished dinner.

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.
