Established in 2016, Fetch + Releash is a volunteer run dog rescue dedicated to saving dogs in need. Our foster dogs come from a variety of different backgrounds such as pounds and shelters, strays and surrendered pets, both locally and abroad. Through our network of volunteers, foster homes, trainers and veterinarians, we strive to give every dog the loving forever family they deserve. &nbsp;As a foster-based dog rescue, our foster dogs live in private homes across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) where they receive the love and attention they need to prepare them for adoption. Our Mission Adoption By collaborating with local and international communities, our mission is to save dogs in danger of homelessness, abuse, neglect or euthanasia. Once in our care, we match each dog with the loving forever family they deserve.&nbsp; Advocacy In addition to re-homing dogs, we are passionate about advocating for animal rights and educating the public on relevant issues such as:<ul><li>Backyard breeding</li><li>Overpopulation and the importance of spay &amp; neuter</li><li>Chained animals</li></ul>Dogs are sentient beings with the right to nutritious food, a life enriched with adequate exercise and mental stimulation, veterinary care and love.&nbsp; Education A dog is a lifetime commitment and not to be discarded due to health, lifestyle change or inconvenience. Some of the top reasons dogs end up in shelters are lack of training, lifestyle changes (i.e. new baby, marriage), relocation, cost of dog ownership, not enough time for pet etc.&nbsp; Our goal is to ensure our adoptive families are well versed in the realities of dog ownership and ready to make a lifetime commitment. Position Summary: Volunteer transporters will transport both dogs and supplies for the rescue in their personal vehicle. &nbsp;This opportunity is great for those that are interested in staying local within the GTA!
