We are a small, foster based dog rescue group in NS who take in locally surrendered dogs, as well as rescue dogs from Quebec/Ontario, and bring them up to the Maritimes, to be adopted into loving homes.

Please take note NB residents! NS/PEI residents too, but hoping for many shares around NB!

These 4 dogs are desperately waiting for their new homes in a boarding/foster situation just outside of Fredericton NB. This woman who boards dogs is passionate about rescue dogs and helps us as much as she can with our dogs. 2 of these dogs are our dogs who we have not been able to find homes for who have been waiting there for quite a few months now. And 2 others are dogs that were surrendered directly to the person running the place.

We really want to get these dogs into homes! Please share this post far and wide, and if you are looking to adopt, please consider one of these amazing dogs. Individual descriptions and information on each dog is with their picture. More pictures and videos upon request.

(Please note, more than half of both Nellie and George’s adoption fees -these are our dogs- are sponsored. Their fees are only $300 for the perfect home!)

*GOOSE!*

Goose has been in foster care in NS now for a number of months waiting for the perfect home to come along. We know his perfect family is out there somewhere and we are determined to find it. Please help us by sharing his post!

This sweet little guy looks just like a puppy still but he is full grown at around 1.5 years old. He weighs around 40 lbs. We think he may be a lab mix of some kind but that’s just a guess.

Goose is not only super cute, but he’s smart and a real love bug too. He’s got lots of energy so he is looking for an active family. He is very food motivated and willing to learn new things. Treats and chew toys are some of his favourite things!

Goose was rescued from the kill floor of a shelter in Quebec. He had a really terrifying time in the system, and his fear there almost cost him his life. We couldn’t let that happen.

As a result of his experiences there as well as his life before being picked up as a stray, he is quite shy/nervous upon first meeting people and a bit of time and patience is needed as he learns to trust. High value treats come in very handy for that. For him it is truly best to let him come to you rather than getting in his space until he gets to know you. But once he knows and loves you, you’re in!

This boy would definitely suit a more quiet home in a rural setting with lots of room to run. A fenced yard would be a bonus but as long as he gets to run and play that’s the main thing.

He gets along with all the dogs he has met so far, and would love some doggie friends, either in his home or ones he can make play dates with. He has had a few interactions with cats and he did really great with them. He was a little curious but he was nice and respectful with them.

He would not really suit children due to his nervousness. Even once used to a child, he may possibly be a little nippy when playing, as he is still learning appropriate play behaviours.

Goose has been working well on his leash training and general manners and housetraining, and is fully crate trained. He would need a crate when left alone as he may get into stuff. He loves car rides!

If you think Goose may be a great fit for your home, please fill out the application below.

Please make sure to share his post! Thank you!

Meet Nanie!

Nanie was rescued just before euthanasia from a Quebec shelter a few months ago. She gave birth to a litter of pups just after getting to the shelter, which as you can imagine was very stressful for her. It was her anxiety in the shelter that made her unadoptable and put her life at risk. She had a rough ride before coming into rescue care. She’s come along by leaps and bounds though. We are so proud of her!

Nanie is a sweet and sensitive 2-year-old mixed-breed pup looking for a patient and loving forever home. She’s a smart girl who learns quickly and thrives when she knows what’s expected of her. While she can be a little wary of strangers at first, once she gets to know you, she’s a loyal and affectionate companion.

Nanie has a medium energy level—she enjoys playtime and mental stimulation but also loves to relax with her favorite people. She does well with her foster mum’s cats as you can see in the pictures, but she is selective with other dogs. She would do best with slow and careful introductions to any potential canine siblings. She hasn’t been around kids yet, so we cannot say exactly how she would be.

Her most ideal home would be one that understands her need for structure and patience as she adjusts.

If you’re looking for a smart, loving pup who will blossom with guidance and consistency, Nanie might be the perfect match for you! Apply to meet her today!

Please help us with sweet little Molly!

Calling all Fetch a Dog Rescue fans and supporters! We can REALLY use your help right now!

We recently took in some dogs that came from a bad back yard breeding situation. They were in really bad physical condition. All of the dogs have been getting the best care though, and are getting up to date on their vetting, and all are going to be officially adopted.

Sweet little 5 year old Molly the Cocker Spaniel has a wonderful new home, but we are responsible for getting her healthy before we can make the adoption official. Unfortunately in Molly’s case, this is going to be a much more complicated and expensive process than we had anticipated.

Sadly for her, it’s going to mean going through some pretty traumatic stuff before she can hopefully, finally start living her very best life.

Molly not only has a complete systemic, skin/ear yeast/bacterial infection, making her itchy everywhere, she also has severe dental disease. Her teeth are in horrible condition. Those things are not even the worst of it.

Molly has at least a half a dozen mammary tumours throughout her mammary glands. Some are quite large and growing. The plan is to remove her entire system of mammary gland chains when she is getting her spay done. This is a full mastectomy. The lumps will each need to be biopsied as each one has a 50/50 chance of being benign/malignant. We are truly hoping that if there is any cancer there, that it has not spread yet, and that we have caught it in time.

As you all can imagine, this is going to cost us a lot of money. Her vetting so far has already cost almost $1000, just to get her bacterial/yeast infection under control enough that she will be ready for surgery. In the next few months, her vetting costs could reach well over $4-$5000! We can really use some help here!

I will leave you with pictures of this absolute cutie, who has stolen so many hearts already. Also, sharing pictures of the invoice from the initial vetting done and the quotes for what she will need to have done in the next few months. Her surgery is scheduled for March 11th. The dental will need to wait until she has recovered from that.

If you are able to spare any amount to donate towards her high vetting needs, we would be ever so grateful. Every little bit counts! Donations can be sent to [email protected]

And another great way to help is to please share this post! The more shares, the more exposure her story will get, and that brings in even more donations for Molly. Every share counts!

Thank you so much for donating and/or sharing! We appreciate each and every one of you greatly! ❤️❤️❤️

Please share to help this sweet boy! Duke desperately needs a foster home asap! There are strict time constraints where he is now. He will have to go into boarding if we cannot find a place for him, and we all know a home would be so much better for him.

Duke needs an experienced dog handler who can help him overcome his insecurities. With the right person, this boy will definitely flourish.

Please share this post far and wide to reach as many people as possible. And please reach out to us if you think you can help. I will share the link to our foster application below.

Dukes details:

❤️ Duke is very loving and affectionate with his known people!

🗓️ 2 years old

💉 UTD on vaccines & neutered

🐕 can be dog selective and reactive on leash, but loves many other dogs once properly introduced.

🏠 Crate trained & potty trained. He is not destructive in the home.

🐶 Working on leash training & general manners. He can be a puller on leash, his recall is good but will not listen if playing with his buddies outside. He’s ok off leash in backyard with no distractions ie other dogs otherwise a fenced yard would be a great asset.

🐈 was afraid of cats the one time he met some.

😆 loves to play with his dog friends loves balls.. stuffies won’t last with Duke loves to rip them apart.

🧍‍♂️ slow introduction to strangers, once he knows you he will be very affectionate. He adores being pet and loved on.

Afraid of children so definitely a no go

Muzzle training would be necessary with Duke when he’s in unfamiliar situations and people.

Duke isn’t a fan of hats, hoodies and beards.

👨 He does prefer women typically, but is still very loving with men

🧸 LOVES KONGs, sniff mats and puzzles.

👍 loves his crate and finds comfort and safety in it.

😊 commands he knows include: look,Stay, sit, paw, down, with me to keep him by side you while walking, place(crate) & “go to bed” as his crate time at night.

😊Duke can be left alone for several hours as long as he has a window to look at … he’s not a counter surfer and is non destructive.

Dukes issues include stranger danger including younger children & dog reactivity & bark at passersby especially if they have a dog. Most recently he’s developed a fear of vet and nail clipping is a no go !!

He’s currently on trazodone to help with these issues and vet recommended Prozac.

SOS! Holden needs a new foster situation asap! He can’t stay where he is and the place we had lined up for him can no longer take him. Please share this post far and wide to help us find him the right home. He is a very sensitive boy who requires a very special home.

This is from Holden’s foster mom in regards to the type of foster this boy needs:

“Holden can be the sulkiest big baby of a dog, but he must feel safe with his person. He thrives with confident leadership and can feel insecure without it. He exhibits mouthy and jumpy behaviour when these feelings intensify and he gets overaroused. If his person feels hesitant or worried by his puppy like nervous behaviours or size, the behaviours worsen. With a handler that is fair, calm and very clear as to what is acceptable, he thrives.

He is the kind of dog that follows you like he’s attached to you. He loves to be loved, and loves literally everything and everyone!”

Holden’s details:

🗓️ 2 years old
💉 UTD on vaccines & neutered
🐕 Gets along great with every dog he has met (female, male, intact dogs, small dogs). He loves everyone!
🏠 Crate trained & potty trained. He is not destructive in the home.
🐶 Working on leash training & general manners. He’s not a huge puller on leash, his recall is very good! He doesn’t need a fenced yard as he’s great off leash but his new people should keep him on leash while he settles in.
🐈 Hasn’t met any cats, but we don’t foresee any issues with him and cats, he does need to be introduced though!
😆 Silly, goofy, playful personality. Everything is sunshine and roses in his world! His smile is contagious
🧍‍♂️ No such thing as a stranger, he loves everyone. He adores being pet and loved on.
👨 He does prefer men typically, but is still very loving with women
🧸 LOVES stuffed toys (careful, sometimes the stuffies explode when left in his crate 😉) & KONGs/puzzles.

If you think yon can help Holden have at least a temporary spot to lay his head for a while until we can find the perfect home for him (unless of course you are hoping to adopt) please fill out the foster application below. Thank you so much!
