Fetch + Releash

🍻 Your empties can help change a dog’s future 🐾

Week two of our Summer Bottle Drive is here and we’re collecting all summer long! Whether you hosted a BBQ, enjoyed a summer bevy with friends, cheered on the game, or opened a bottle of wine with dinner, those empties can do more than fill the recycling bin.

Return your cans and bottles at one of our collection depots and our incredible volunteers will turn them into funds to support rescue dogs in need of vet care, supplies, training, and a safe place to land.

Every empty bottle or can returned helps us continue saying yes to dogs who need us most.

🗓️ Collection Cities:
Oakville • Burlington • Milton • Georgetown • Waterdown • Mississauga • Toronto • Newmarket • Peterborough • Hamilton • Brantford

📍 Upcoming Collection Weeks:
• June 21–27
• July 26–August 1
• August 23–29
• September 20–26

Can’t make it to a depot or don’t have one nearby? You can still return your empties and donate the proceeds directly to support rescue dogs.

Please drink responsibly 🍷🐾

See you there!

For 630 days, Lua has been waiting for her forever family.

Behind that wiggly butt and infectious smile is a dog who has overcome so much and still greets each day with hope. Lua is ready to trade foster care for a family of her own, one that will cherish her goofy spirit, celebrate her progress, and love her forever.

Lua / Female / 3 years old / 49 lbs / Boxer Mix / Good with calm dogs (male dogs preferred) / Good with cats / Good with older, dog-savvy children / From Mexico / Fostered in Warkworth

Lua’s story started in Mexico, where her mother was found chained to a fence on an empty lot with no shelter. After giving birth to four puppies, local rescue partners stepped in, freed the family, and brought them to safety. One of those puppies was Lua.

Now fully grown, Lua has become a bright, affectionate dog with a playful spirit and a deep bond with the people she trusts.

Lua is being fostered in a structured training environment, where she has made huge progress with confidence, trust, and social skills. The timid puppy she once was has grown into a loving companion who genuinely enjoys being close to her people.

Lua is fun, goofy, and full of energy. Her foster jokes that she has an “invisible trampoline” because she bounces through life with so much excitement. She thrives on praise, affection, and connection, and nothing makes her happier than spending time with the humans she loves.

Lua’s adoption fee has been fully sponsored by Fetch + Releash, and approved adopters must be committed to continuing positive reinforcement training to help her thrive. 💛

She survived her past, now she needs her future! Kika is looking for a foster or adopter!

635 days, that’s how long Kika has been waiting in foster care for someone to choose her.

Meet Kika (aka Kikachu) — a 3-year-old Terrier mix with a huge personality, endless love to give, and a heart that has already survived more than most dogs ever should.

Kika’s story began on the streets of Mexico, where she wandered into the home of a shelter volunteer, injured and clearly mistreated. Somehow, despite everything she had endured, she knew exactly where to go for help.

Today, she’s safe, she’s thriving and she’s ready to find her person!

Kika is equal parts comedian and cuddle bug. She’s obsessed with warm blankets, uses her favourite toys as pillows, has full conversations with squeaky toys, and takes her job as a cardboard recycler very seriously. She loves belly rubs, ball games, snowy adventures, and making her humans laugh every single day.

But what makes Kika truly special is her loyalty!

Once she trusts you, she trusts you completely. She’ll look to you for guidance, follow your lead, and love you with her whole heart.

Kika is searching for:
✨ A female-only, adult-only home
✨ No dogs, cats, or children in the home
✨ Someone patient and committed to building trust
✨ A confident handler who appreciates smart, sensitive dogs

She’s crate trained, muzzle trained, has trusted relationships with her vet and dog sitter, and is already working hard with a dog walker to continue building confidence around new people.

If you’ve ever thought about giving a deserving dog a second chance, please consider Kika. Her forever person is out there somewhere — maybe this post will help them find her.
