Story
Lua / Female / 1 year old / 35 lbs / Boxer Mix / No dogs please / Good with cats / Good with older children / From Mexico / Fostered in Oakville Meet Lua! Lua came to us from Mexico, where she lived in a vacant lot with no roof or shelter. She gave birth to a litter of four puppies while tied up to the fence of the lot. Our wonderful partners in Mexico cut the chain she was tied to and took the mama and her puppies to safety. Lua is one of these puppies, rescued from a life of neglect and ready to find a loving home. Lua is a sweet girl with the most expressive eyes. Her fosters describe her as affectionate, curious and playful. Lua adores her people and is always ready to snuggle. She even believes she is tiny and will make herself fit on your lap, no matter how awkwardly she has to lay. Lua would love nothing more than to be in a home where she can be showered with love and attention. Lua is best friends with her trusted humans. She will stay close by and can be protective in nature. With new people Lua prefers to assess, sniff and take time. Once she feels comfortable she will shower them with the same love and affections. Lua is a bit more nervous around men, and is working with her fosters to learn that they can be safe too. Lua has met older children and done well. She could live in a home with respectful, dog-savvy children. With patience, decompression time and support Lua will show her loving nature to her humans. Lua is looking for a home in a quieter neighbourhood. City sounds and passing cars are new to her and make her feel nervous. A home with a yard where she can play would be ideal, but as long as she has access to greenspace she will do well. Lua is the type of dog that will thrive wherever her humans are, as she loves to be part of the pack. Lua is currently looking for a home where she is the only dog. She has had positive interactions with other dogs in the past, but can be defensive when sharing her space. Lua will set boundaries for herself and does not seem bothered by other dogs she passes on walks. With proper introductions Lua would enjoy socializing outside of her home. Lua currently lives with a cat and does well. She has shown both curiosity towards the cat and respect for the cats boundaries. As a young girl, Lua will require lots of outlets for her energy. She currently gets two walks each day. Lua is doing well on leash so far. She loves to sniff and explore as she goes. Lua will stop when a car goes by, and tends to avoid other people, but she is gaining more confidence each day. Lua is very good at looking to her trusted humans for reassurance while on walks. Indoors, Lua enjoys enrichment activities and is learning the joy of playing with toys. Lua is making great progress with her basic training. She enjoys learning and making her humans proud, so working with her is great! Lua is crate trained, spending time in one when she is home alone, and overnight. She is housetrained, but her new family should be prepared for a transition period and possible accidents. Life indoors is new for Lua, but she is learning her house manners fairly quickly. Lua prefers to be where her people are, but will settle in adjacent rooms to nap, or chew a toy. Lua is a sweet girl with the biggest heart, waiting to find her forever family that is ready to give her the time and attention to learn how to be the best companion. If you're interested in adopting Lua, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Lua's adoption fee is $250.

Story
Available for Foster, Foster to Adopt, or Adoption! Hank has been with us for a while. Poor boy has been here since Oct 2021. He loves to play. He loves attention. He loves treats (who doesn't?). Hank is a really sweet boy. He is getting really stressed living the kennel life, though. This boy needs a home, with a yard and a family to call his own. He has not had many inquiries, he does not seem to be a fan-favorite for reasons we don’t understand, and the kennel life is not meant for him - or really any dog for that matter. Hank is a young loving boy who would be able to grow more in a forever home, or even a foster, to keep him free of stress, to allow him to unleash his crazy, puppy-like self. For a young guy, he has great recall and has been open to welcoming female dogs to play with him. MUST be dog experience, not for a first-time dog owner Name: Hank Breed: boxer mix Weight: 60lbs Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Age: 5 years old Medical(shots): Up to date Good with dogs: VERY selective, must be ONLY pet Good with cats: No Good with strangers: yes with proper introductions Good with Kids: yes but over 13 as he doesnt like young kids in his face Guarding issues: yes with food with other dogs but good with people House trained: yes Crate trained : yes Destructive: not at all Leash skills: Good! Due to his trachea he must be walked on a harness only! Okay with manipulations: yes Known commands: sit, lay, paw working on stay and leave it Behaviour issues: guards his food from other dogs but will let me take it Medical issues: damaged trachea Other observations: Hank is very people happy and loves to meet dog friends with the proper introductions. Loves to run so needs space and proper excerise. Good off leash once bonded and can have with excellent recall when properly trained. Loves car rides. He is snuggly, loves to be in your lap. Loves his toys and will carry them on walks or when he goes outside. Not for a first time dog owner. Will need someone with patience and time to continue working with him. He has been in a kennel for almost 3 years. So please understand he will need someone willing to help him decompress from the kennel environment. Once he's comfortable with you and knows you, he's really a sweet boy with a big heart. Hence why we call him our goofball! Hank is all about cuddling and playtime!

Story
Introducing Axel: The Energetic Pup Ready for His Fresh Start! (case #01-06-OTC-06) Meet Axel, an 8-month-old American Bulldog cross with a heart as big as his paws! This playful, curious pup arrived as an unclaimed stray with his brother, and while they share a similar temperament, Axel is ready to find his own path and start a brand-new adventure with his forever family. Axel is a smart, spirited young dog who has a lot to learn, but he’s eager to soak up knowledge and grow. He’s got a wonderful, friendly nature, but like any young pup, he’ll benefit from some training classes to help him become the well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. With the right guidance and consistency from his new family, Axel will thrive and become the confident, well-behaved boy we know he can be. A wise and steady dog in his new home would be a perfect mentor for Axel, helping him learn the ropes and adjust to his new routine. Axel is also a great candidate for a home with small animals and cats, as long as introductions are done slowly and carefully. His friendly nature makes him a promising match for households with other pets. One thing to keep in mind: Axel has a serious appetite! He arrived with an eagerness for food, and while there are no signs of food guarding at this time, he’ll benefit from a foster or adopter who is willing to work on food games and trading exercises to help him build confidence and prevent any potential issues down the line. Axle is currently in a foster home with a cat and a senior dog. He is respectful of their space and is doing well sleeping in a crate at nighttime. He is a fast learner and is catching on quickly, learning that he cannot put his paws on the counter or go on the couch. Axel may still be a work in progress, but his loving, curious nature is just waiting to shine with the right family. If you’re ready to invest time and patience into helping Axel grow into the best version of himself, he’ll reward you with endless love, loyalty, and joy. Ready to give Axel the fresh start he’s dreaming of? Complete an adoption application for this charming boy today and see how quickly he’ll steal your heart!

Meet Baker!! (case #02-06-OTC-01) Name: Baker Age: 2 years old Breed: American Bulldog Cross Personality: Shy but sweet, affectionate, and playful Health: In good health but will need to be neutered Interviewer: Baker, you're a bit of a mystery! Can you tell us a little about yourself? Baker: Well, I was found as a stray, and I guess I’ve been a little unsure of the world since then. I’m still warming up to people, but once I trust you, I’m all about affection. I’m a bit shy at first, but give me some time, and I’ll be your best friend. I love running around outside, and I can be really playful once I get comfortable. Interviewer: What kind of home would you like to have, Baker? Baker: I need a family who understands that I’m still learning about the world and need some patience. A home with other dogs would be great because I really enjoy playing with them. I’d like someone who can take me on lots of walks and help me get the exercise I need. It’s important for me to have a lot of activity to keep me happy and healthy! Interviewer: What about your training needs? Baker: Well, I’m still learning a lot! I don’t know any commands just yet, and I tend to pull on the leash when I’m walked. But I’m a quick learner, and I would thrive in obedience classes! Positive reinforcement works wonders for me. I just need someone who can help me build confidence and teach me the right way to behave on a leash. Interviewer: It sounds like you're a fun dog with a lot of potential! What makes you special? Baker: I’m sweet and affectionate, and once I feel safe, I’ll shower you with love! I’m still a bit shy, but with time, I’ll open up and show you just how loyal I can be. I love to run and play, and I’d be the perfect companion for a family who loves the outdoors. And I think I’d really thrive with another dog to show me the ropes and help keep me active. Interviewer: Do you have any advice for potential adopters? Baker: If you’re looking for a loving, playful dog with a little bit of a shy side, I could be the one for you. I just need someone who’s patient and ready to help me build my confidence. In return, I promise to be your loyal buddy, always ready to run, play, and snuggle when the time is right! Conclusion: Baker is a sweet, affectionate boy with a lot of potential. He’ll need a family who’s committed to giving him exercise, training, and patience as he works on building his confidence and learning commands. If you’re ready to help this lovable pup become his best self, you won’t regret bringing Baker into your home!
