Eros (Foster-to-Adopt)
Eros’ Story
Eros is available for Foster to Adopt!
***Please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form***
As a foster-to-adopt family, you will 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.
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. Visit https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info for more info on mandatory supplies.

Introducing Eros! This active, playful, full of life guy is ready to meet his forever family. Eros is a cuddle bug who is sweet, smart and silly and will be sure to bring a smile to your face. Eros is medium energy, He is playful and enjoys chewing on toys.
Eros is a great companion and really learns to trust his humans. With new people, Eros is shy and will look to his trusted family until he can gain your trust and love. Eros has not met any children but based on his personality, we think he’d be ok with dog-savvy kids.
Eros loves high value treats including sausages. Use these for training and he’ll learn as much as you ask of him! Being a puppy, Eros is still learning his leash manners as he likes to get excited, he just can’t help it! He’s been working on this and has already shown great progress. Eros needs a family who is patient and will support him with basic training, manners, and leash skills. Eros would love a home with a backyard so he can run around and get his energy out, but he’d also be ok as long as he is provided with at least 2 walks a day and proper enrichment.
With other dogs, Eros can’t always take a hint when reading other dogs body language. He is a puppy and wants to play, it’s in his nature! Eros currently lives with another dog and does well. We think he’d do well as a second dog to a patient dog who won’t mind if Eros gets into their space once in a while. He will need proper introductions. As for cats, Eros hasn’t had any exposure so right now he is seeking a cat-free home.
Eros loves his crate and can be left alone for the day when his foster mom goes to work, as long as he gets a mid day potty break. Eros has been going to doggy daycare to gain confidence and has made many milestones in his training. But like we said, Eros trusts his people so his new family should be prepared for some regression and needs to be patient while continuing to work with him on his independence and helping him grow in his new home.
Eros has anxiety behaviours and has been put on behaviour modification medications. He currently has become accustomed to his living environment and is not using them but this is something his future adopter may want to know and use as he adjust new a new home. He is currently taking:
- Zylkene - 450mg once daily - monthly cost approx $105
- Clomicalm - 20mg twice daily - monthly cost approx $170
Eros is a flight risk and our top priority in his furever home is safety. His forever family must take precautions to keep him safe and secure, including the purchase of a GPS tracker which will be required for adoption.
