My story

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

This dog is located in the Niagara region*Apply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website.

Mia came to us as a local owner surrender. She was left at a boarding facility heavily pregnant when her owner couldn't care for her anymore and we were called in to help. Fortunately a foster stepped up just in time, and she gave birth hours after arriving to the safety of the foster home. She raised two beautiful babies, has been spayed, and it is now her time to find her forever family! Mia is just an awesome dog. Mia has a head turning merle coat and stunning eyes, but beyond her looks her has a heart of gold. She is full of so much love and happiness, hasn't met a stranger that she didn't like and wants all the love! Her biggest flaw is that she doesn't know her size, and can be a bit of a bull in a China shop. She will do best with experienced owners who are strong handlers. A home with bully experience would be best for Mia. Mia doesn't have a ton of experience being around other dogs, so she can occasionally be reactive on walks. However it has really only been when her handler allows her to be, meaning that if her handler leads her with confidence she will pay no mind to other dogs on walks. She does well with other dogs her size upon proper introductions and wants to play in the yard when given the opportunity. Small dogs, cats and small animals are a no-go for Mia. This lady will need some ongoing training to reinforce good manners.

Additional adoption info

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue is looking for committed adopters, ready to bring a rescue dog into their life. In order to ensure that we find the best homes for our dogs, adoption applicants must go through an adoption approval process. We receive a number of applications for each dog and only one will be chosen as the successful candidate. Candidates are selected based on the dog's needs. Not being selected for the dog that you applied for does not disqualify you from adopting from us in the future.

Go meet their pets

We do our very best to place our dogs into adoptive homes before they arrive into Canada. This ensures that they have a safe and loving place to go after their long journey up North. All dogs adopted through R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue will receive a 15 day adoption probation period. This period starts the day the dog enters the care of the adopter. This means that the adoptive family has 15 days to determine that dog is a good fit for them. Although it may feel scary to not meet the dog before adopting, the 15 day period allows you to get to know the dog within your home. If you buy a dog off of Kijiji or at a local shelter you may be given a couple hours to meet the dog. We believe that our program's 15 day probation provides much more insight into how he or she will fit into your home, rather than. a brief meet and greet.

More about this rescue

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue was founded in 2020 by a small group of young women with one thing is common: a love for dogs. Since establishment, RDR has successfully found forever homed for over 700 dogs. Our mission is to rescue dogs in dire situations and give them a second chance at life through education and empowerment. All of our dogs come the streets and shelters across Texas, where they are experiencing a dog overpopulation crisis. Our team has travelled to the State to see first-hand how we can help and make a difference in the lives of animals.
R.E.B.E.L stands for: rescue, educate, believe, empower and love dogs. We live by these words every day and encourage the dog-loving community to follow suit!
