My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY POST.

MEET MALLARD!

This good looking Lab mix is seeking his forever!

Super smart, playful,. social and energetic, Mallard is a sweet goofball! He loves to curl up on you like he's a puppy, he even likes holding your hand. He's good on the leash, not destructive in the home and knows basic obedience.

Ideal home for this great guy? A home with an active, experienced guardian, committed to giving Mallard daily, sufficient exercise via walks, hikes, playtime, etc.
A home that understands the importance of giving Mallard structure and boundaries; one that will continue with his basic obedience training. Adult only home; kids over 15 yrs.

Mallard gets along with other dogs but would do best with a dog his size or smaller, and of similar play style.

Mallard is about 1.5 yrs old, weighs about 90 lbs. He is utd and neutered.

Have questions? Would like to arrange a visit? Please contact reboundhounds@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with his advocates ...

More about this rescue

Rebound Hounds Res-Q believes that there’s a great home for every dog. How to make that happen is the real work of rescue. We’re committed to bringing dogs and guardians together who are right for each other. We do it by knowing the dog, and knowing the prospective guardian.

First, we know the dogs we place. We seek out temperament evaluations from ACC staff and ACC volunteers in the attempt to pair dogs with the right home. It’s not perfect, but it goes a long way toward getting a feel for who the dog should go to.

Next, we learn about the adopters. We look at lifestyle, energy level, experience, tolerances. It’s communicating about expectations and commitment, not just for the next few weeks when the dog comes into their life, but for life.

Last, we stay in touch. After the initial home visit, we’re available to offer help, support and advice. We welcome knowing how everyone is settling in. Pictures are great, an occasional email. Our job is to support the owner and dog throughout the process.

Shelter dogs are a unique challenge because they have pasts we often can’t know. What we do know is that once matched with the right guardian — with time, respect and patience — a shelter dog offers unparalleled love and gratitude every day, in every way, to the person who saved them. It is unlike any other relationship on earth.
