Adalynn (Addy) is currently seeking a foster or adoptive family.
She is located in the Niagara area. Apply to foster or adopt at rebeldogrescue.com
All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website.
Adalynn is a very special girl who has had a challenging start to life. At only 8 months old, she was found as a stray and taken to a kill shelter. Fortunately, Addy was saved from euthansia. She is a scared girl with no known back story before the kill shelter. Whatever her story is, Addy needs to rebuild her confidence. As such, we are looking for a patient adopter. An adopter that can spend time with Addy helping her feel safe. Addy would thrive in a household where structure and guidance are provided for her to be her best self.
Addy has been in Board and Train for approximately 3 months and has done very well (more details on that in a moment). Prior to her training program Addy lived in a foster home. In the foster home she had no accidents (with scheduled breaks). In her new home she will need consistency to learn a new schedule and how to signal she needs let out for her breaks. In her foster she slept through the night from about 10-8 without any accidents and minimal movement. Addy enjoys; toys, treats and naps close by her people.
Board and Train Update: Addy has built her confidence and learned so much in her board and train program. Her ability to follow food and seek positive reinforcement is helping her walk away from uncomfortable situations (interaction with other dogs). Addy is experiencing much less stress now with this understanding.
Addy is e-collar trained and is thriving with this added form of communication the collar offers. We are able to communicate with Addy by sending low level impulses similar to using leash pressure to guide her in the right direction. Addys new owner(s) will be shown exactly how the training works and what it takes to maintain it!
Addy has so much potential. She truly has all the qualities to make her an amazing companion, she just needs someone to say we got this and lead the way
