My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ford / Male / 10 months / 50 lbs / Mixed Breed / Good with Dogs / Good with Kids / Untested with Cats / From Tennessee/ Fostered in Port Perry

Meet Ford! Ford’s foster describes his as sweet and spunky! Ford came into our care after he was found by our rescue partner in Tennessee alone with his siblings. Ford is now fostered locally and is getting ready to meet his forever family.

Ford loves to snuggle and give hugs and is described as a very sweet boy. Some of his favourite activities are chewing, running around, and playing with his foster siblings. Being a puppy, Ford has a higher energy level and requires regular exercise. He walks well on a leash and loves to run and play in the yard. He does not like going to the bathroom on his leash and will try to avoid it. He is doing very well with potty training but may have a few accidents in new environments. He is nervous when walking on the street and gets scared easily.

Ford is sometimes nervous when meeting new people. His fosters believe he is most comfortable meeting people in his own home where he is most confident. His fosters are actively working with him on his confidence and he is making great progress. Ford has met children as young as three and did very well with them. However, he is still a puppy and proper precautions should be taken to ensure the wellbeing of all family members. Ford's new family will need to ensure slow and proper introductions to new people and dogs. Ford is making leaps and bounds with his confidence and is highly adaptable.

Ford is currently living with two canine foster brothers and gets along with them very well. He enjoys the company of other dogs and gets confidence and guidance from them. We believe he would do best as the second (or third!) dog in a household. He has not yet been tested with cats.

Ford has been left alone for up to four hours and has done well. He is left in his crate and cannot yet be trusted free reign as he can sometimes chew and try to ingest his toys though he is learning what he is allowed and not allowed. He sleeps well in his crate at night and settles very quickly.

Ford is working on basic training and recall. He loves his treats and learns quickly however being so young he will need ongoing support from his new family. As a condition of the adoption contract, Ford's new family will be required to attend and complete a basic obedience class at their own cost (proof required).

Ford's ideal forever home is a house with a yard outside a busy downtown core. He would do best with other dogs in the home. He is looking for a patient family that will include him in their daily lives and activities, and support him with ongoing training and confidence building. Ford is a lovely boy who is waiting for his perfect forever family. We believe that with the right family, his confidence will show, and he will truly shine.

Additional adoption info

To adopt one of our dogs, please fill out an application at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form. Although we do our best to reply to all inquiries within 72 hours, please remember we are a volunteer-run organization. We appreciate your patience.

If we think your application has potential to be a good fit, a Fetch + Releash volunteer will contact you to set up a time to speak over the phone and conduct the home visit. In addition to the phone interview and home visit, we also require personal, veterinarian, and landlord reference if applicable.

After the phone interview, home visit & reference check, you will then be granted a private meet and greet with the dog.

After the meet and greet, the adoption committee will then review your completed application and make a final decision.

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.
