My story

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

Chandler is quite the charmer, loves his people and climbing up on your shoulder for a better view of the world. He is good with other dogs and cats. He lives with many cats and his dog friend, Phoebe. He loves the attention of his person, so would be okay as the only pet in the house. And no more than one or two other dogs about his size please!

He loves car rides and long walks at a fast pace. Once he is done with his walk he prefers to rest up for the next long walk. He is a good office dog! He does like to play with toys, mostly fetch. He does like playing in the yard, but doesn't want to be outside by himself, and always stays close by his human.

When he meets men, he might bark at them but then lets them pet him. He never barks at women or children. When he first meets you, he does not want you to pick him up but likes to roll around on your feet. After he gets to know you, picking him up is good. 

He loves jumping up in the air and will let you catch him and hold him for a few minutes, longer if you let him perch on your shoulder. He loves laying in your lap on his back so he can get belly rubs. When he is done with your lap he jumps down and lays at your feet. 

He is crate and house trained. The only issue - if you back him into an area where he feels cornered, he will growl and try to nip you as a warning. This has happened just once since he moved into his foster home. As long as whatever you want him to do is his idea all is good! But because of the possibility of nipping, it would be best if his home only has older children.

He is up to date on vaccines and is heart worm negative. He is ready to go and can move into his new home the same day as the home visit if all goes well.

Submit an adoption inquiry using the form on our website. A link is provided further down the page.

2.

After submitting your inquiry, a volunteer will contact you within 24-48 hours to complete a brief interview and arrange a meet and greet.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Adoptions are not complete until an adoption contract has been signed and the adoption fee paid.

Additional adoption info

Before you adopt...ask yourself if you are ready for a 15+ year commitment.

As a non-profit, we charge a nominal fee for all adoptions (see our current adoption fees). In exchange for your adoption fee, all animals:

• Are spayed/neutered
• Are fully vaccinated based on age/weight at the time of adoption
• Have received a medical exam
• Are microchipped
• Dewormed (With kittens this will need to be repeated)
• All cats 8+ months of age are tested at the time of entry for FIV and FeLV and will be specified if negative or positive in the medical as well as the description. (Please note that FIV and FeLV testing at the time of entry does not guarantee the cats will be free of the disease.)
• Dogs are tested for heart worms

Most importantly, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped re-home an animal that needs the love and care only you can provide.

Adoption Requirements
All Rebel Rescue adopters must be 21 years or older, currently employed, live in a house, condo, or apartment where cats and dogs are welcome, and have telephone or cell phone service. We require that all the members of the household agree to the adoption—which includes family, roommates, and especially children.

Please Note: Submitting an inquiry for a specific animal does NOT guarantee a hold of that animal, until our adoption counselor is able to speak with you in person or over the phone. We will do our best to facilitate a swift process.

More about this rescue

Rebels Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)3 animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets in Hillsborough County and the Greater Tampa Bay area. Our goal is to end unnecessary euthanasia by placing the most at-risk pets from local shelters and the community into our foster homes where they will receive the love, attention and care they deserve while they await adoption. All pets receive appropriate vet care in addition to being spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
