Jake (Foster-to-Adopt)

FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED!! ***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form*** We would love to welcome Jake into the Fetch + Releash family on September 15, 2024 (subject to change). In order for Jake to come into our care, we need a committed family. As a foster-to-adopt family, you'll be expected to take him home on his arrival date. You will then have two weeks to get to know your new furry house guest before committing to adoption. At the end of two weeks, if you choose not to move forward with adoption, we simply ask that you continue to provide a safe and loving home until their new forever family can be found. Each bio was created by our rescue partners based on their interactions with the dogs. Fetch + Releash has a full disclosure policy however we cannot guarantee a dog against parasites or diseases, nor can we guarantee a dog's nature/behaviour. Many of these dogs are coming directly from the shelter and so you should expect there to be a transitional period. Be prepared to deal with common issues like potty training, leash walking, and socialization. Cat and kid safety assessments are often based on their personality and not necessarily on actual interactions. Where possible, the majority of vetting will be completed prior to coming to Canada, however, foster-to-adopt families may be required to travel to our partner vet in Mississauga, ON for further vet care. During your foster-to-adopt trial, you'll receive the support of a Fetch + Releash mentor to help you through the transition and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Foster-to-adopt families will be required to pay a $200 deposit on the adoption fee and sign our foster-to-adopt waiver in advance. If you choose not to adopt, your $200 will be refunded to you within 30 days of your dog being adopted into a new family provided you see your pup through to adoption. If you choose not to see your dog through to adoption, you will forfeit your deposit. Foster-to-adopt families will be expected to provide their own supplies.

Unfortunately we don't have much information about his past other than he was surrendered by his owner. What we do know is, he was loved by all the shelter staff and they hope this new opportunity finds him his forever family. In true retriever fashion, Jake is great with people, always smiling and happy to make new friends. He is great with kids making him the perfect family dog. Jake has been around dogs and cats which makes him a welcome addition to a family that already has pets. Jake is easy going and we would expect him to adapt to any living arrangement (but please no chickens - lol). He will need support refining the basics and mastering leash skills. Some reminders with potty training as he adjusts to his new home and routine are expected. Further training commands like sit, stay, heel and much more will also need to be learned. Continued training is a great way to build a strong bond with your new companion as well as an opportunity to build their confidence. Jake is a big fan of water and has even been for some fun adventures kayaking. Maybe a family with a pool or a cottage is in this guys future? He's a great car companion, always ready to jump in for a ride. Especially if you happen to be going for ice cream, it's one of his favorite treats. Jake is an incredible dog who is eagerly waiting to show his new family boundless love and gratitude for giving him a chance.
