My story

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

Arriving February 7, this dog will be fostered 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.

This sweet, gentle boy is a mediumlow energy pup who thrives in a calm, relaxed environment. He can be shy when meeting new people, especially men, and may approach cautiously with his tail tucked, but with patience and kindness he warms up and builds trust. He is friendly with women, does well with children, and happily co-exists with other laid-back, easygoing dogs. He greets new canine friends politely and takes his cues from them. He settles quietly in a crate, is doing well with house training, and shows no signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety. While he hasnt been tested with cats and is still gaining confidence on leash, he is eager to learn and improve. Fearful of loud noises, he will benefit from gentle confidence-building and a peaceful home where he can feel safe, included in daily activities, and continue blossoming into the loving companion hes meant to be.

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.
