Grizz / Male / 1 years / 50 lbs / Terrier Cross / Good with Children / Good with Dogs / Untested with Cats / From Tennessee / Fostered in Mississauga
**Follow Grizz’s journey on instagram @adoptgrizz **
Meet Grizz! Grizz came to us from Tennessee where he was found as a stray and faced the risk of euthanasia at the local pound. Luckily, he was transferred to our partner sanctuary, who connected him to us. Now that he has settled into foster care in Canada, he is ready to find his furever home.
Grizz is described by his fosters as happy, confident and playful. Despite his rough start, he is full of life and spunk. Grizz loves to play and is still very puppy-like in his activities. He is always ready for playtime and will greet you excitedly with whichever toy is closest. Whether indoors for a game of tug, or outdoors running around and burying himself in the snow, Grizz is ready to have fun.
Grizz is quite the social butterfly. He loves to meet new people and assumes everyone wants to be his best friend. As a young dog, he is still learning to keep his excited paws on the ground. Grizz will redirect and is content to just be nearby if it is not the time to play. He loves his people and welcomes others into his pack. The more love and attention the better! Grizz has met and done well with children over 12. He would do great in a home with dog-savvy, respectful children, especially if they want to join in all his playtime fun. He can be over-excited and jumpy at times, so supervision and training would be key with younger children.
With Grizz’s high energy and love of the outdoors, his ideal home would have a fenced yard where he could get some zoomies out each day. He is still adjusting to city life and loud noises; large vehicles make him nervous. A home in a quieter area, with lots of opportunities for exploring would be great.
Grizz is just as social with dogs as he is with humans. He would make a great second dog, especially with one who has his zest for life. Opportunities to socialize with other dogs will be important as he loves to connect and play with dogs he meets. Although he is excitable and puppy-like, Grizz does read other dogs' language and will respect their boundaries if they seem uninterested. Grizz has not met cats yet and is looking for a cat-free home at this time.
At one year old, Grizz is very energetic and will require lots of exercise and mental stimulation each day. He is gradually learning his leash manners and that city noises are ok. While out on walks, Grizz can get excited and pull but redirects and likes to be close to his human. As a hunting breed he loves to keep busy and is very alert. Multiple walks each day, time to run off leash, and puzzles will be important in keeping him occupied.
Considering how new he is to home life, Grizz has wonderful house manners. He is house trained, crate trained and respectful of counters and furniture. While he does not like to be alone, Grizz will spend time in his crate with no issues for about 4-6 hours at a time. If his humans are home, he prefers to be where they are. Grizz can jump very high and will try to escape where he is to find you if you are in the house. Grizz’s new family should be prepared to continue in his training and working with his ability to be independent.
While we can’t guarantee Grizz is hypoallergenic, he’s likely low-shedding and will need regular grooming to keep him looking his best. Grizz’s vibrant personality is intact. He’s ready to fill your life with joy, love, and unforgettable memories.
When he came into care, Grizz tested positive for Ehrlichia which is a tick-borne disease that can stay in the bloodstream for many years. Further testing confirmed that the Ehrlichia is in a dormant state and Grizz should not experience any clinical symptoms. It is recommended that Ehrlichia positive dogs get an annual blood test to monitor the anaplasmosis and that any pre-op blood work should include a CBC test and platelet count before any surgeries or dental extractions.

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.
