Story
Edison is a special pup looking for his forever home! What makes Edison special? For starters, Edison is deaf! Being deaf doesn't slow Edison down though, really it just makes him a bit more oblivious to external stimulus, and helps him sleep in longer. Edison also has separation anxiety- he is a real lover who prefers to be near his people at all all times. When he can't see his people, Edison is frantic and tries to get back to them, whether that means digging in a crate, barking, or frantically running around the house trying to find them. He would prefer a forever home where someone is always home, or if he could go to work with his people! Edison is a very calm, affectionate and gentle boy. He is lower energy and really just cares about snuggling with his people, or near his people. He is good in the car, but wants his head on the drivers lap to keep them company, and tries to climb on people's laps on the couch. When given boundaries, Edison can nap at his persons feet (preferably on a very soft dog bed!) so that they can work in peace. New environments or new people? No problem! Edison just cares that he's around his people. If given a soft dog bed, Edison knows that's a good place to curl up for a nap. Edison loves all people! He is gentle and happy to greet everyone, and will try to climb into their laps if he can help it. He is such a sweet soul, he will slip right into anyone's heart immediately! Edison is very playful with other dogs. He is very friendly and initially passive, but can get playful in a typical boxer fashion by pawing at them and jumping around them. Edison is still intact, his neuter appointment is in January, so he can rub some dogs the wrong way, but his intentions are innocent and playful. Edison has a prey drive for small animals and is not good with cats. Edison came to us very underweight and is very food motivated. He is gentle taking food from hands, and will do anything for food! He is still young and it seems has not had much training or structure before, so he will need some direction in his forever home to not investigate food on counters, or get into things he isn't supposed to on his level. Edison walks well on leash and doesn't pull at all on a flat collar. He is happy to follow his people and go on whatever adventure or direction they would like to go. Aside from his separation anxiety issues, he is truly a sweet little joy that is guaranteed to make anyone who meets him fall in love with him! Due to his separation anxiety, Edison is looking for a forever home in a detached house, as he can be vocal when he can't see his people. He needs someone who is home the majority of the time, can take him to work with him, or has the time to do a proper separation anxiety protocol to help him be comfortable home alone. While he does like other dogs, unfortunately they aren't quite enough comfort for him to be home alone with them. Edison is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has his neuter and 4DX snap test in January. Please send adoption inquiries to molsonsfosterfriends@gmail.com.

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 $850.

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
Zola is a very active 6 year old. She currently lives with older children and is very unaware of her size and strength. She loves going on walks and walks quite well. She knows basic commands and is house trained. She is used to long walks almost daily. Her recall is good but she would need a fenced in yard as she is very distracted easily. She would do best with a family that is very active and would be able to walk her daily. Unfortunately with schedules changing and my daughter moving out, we just don’t have the time she requires.

Story
Meet Winston, a loving Boxer mix with a heart as big as his soulful eyes. Winston’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found abandoned and tied up in Quebec, but even after all he’s been through, he’s ready to fill your life with so much joy, snuggles and plenty of fetch. This sweet boy recently underwent surgery to repair a bilateral perineal hernia and had few fractured teeth extracted. He’s now on the road to recovery and focused on starting the next chapter of his life with a family who will show him the love and security he’s always deserved. Winston has a way of stealing hearts. Everyone who meets him falls in love with his kind nature and cuddly personality. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people or chasing a tennis ball. If fetch were an Olympic sport, Winston would be a gold medalist! Winston does experience some separation anxiety, so he’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s currently on a training plan to help him feel more secure when left alone, and with patience and consistency, his confidence is expected to grow. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who’s overcome the odds and is ready to bring endless love (and maybe a slobbery tennis ball or two) into your life, Winston might just be your perfect match. Are you ready to give Winston the happy ending he’s been waiting for?
