This dog will arrive to Grimsby, ON on September 26 Apply to FOSTER TO ADOPT at rebeldogrescue.com*Lila's journey has been nothing short of inspiring. When she first arrived in foster care, she wouldn't even come out from behind the couch. After spending a couple of months learning that people can be kind and trustworthy, she has blossomed into a loving, playful, and affectionate girl who is finally ready to find the family she's always deserved. Lila is a sweet, medium-energy dog who enjoys both playtime and relaxing at home. Once she feels safe, her personality shines. She loves other dogs, enjoys active play, and is happiest with canine companions around. She's also quite the cuddle bug and has a habit of jumping into laps whenever the opportunity presents itself.Because of her past, Lila can be shy when meeting new people and is a bit head-shy. She may hang back initially and needs time to build trust, but she warms up quickly when given patience and gentle reassurance. Her foster describes her as incredibly loving once she knows she's safe.Lila enters her crate willingly, and sees her crate as a safe space. She eagerly heads outside when it's time for potty breaks, and comes right back when called. She is still learning leash skills and is more comfortable in a home with a yard where she can continue building confidence at her own pace.She would thrive in a patient, understanding home that can continue helping her build confidence. She would do best with adults or older teens and would benefit from having another friendly dog in the home. She is not recommended as a first dog for inexperienced owners, simply because she still needs someone willing to invest a little extra time and patience as she continues learning how wonderful life as a cherished family member can be.Lilah has come so far from the fearful dog who hid behind a couch. She has learned to trust, to play, and to love. Now she's ready for the next chapter: a forever home that will continue showing her just how special she truly is.

Flash is almost the perfect dog. He is friendly, affectionate, incredibly smart, completely housebroken, and not destructive. He loves attention, cuddling up next to his people, and having his own special spot on the couch-preferably with a soft blanket. When Flash is happy to see you, his excitement shows in his whole-body wiggle! He is content to spend hours relaxing and snoozing, but he is equally happy to play or head out for a walk. Flash has a gentle, loving nature and enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. Flash is the kind of dog who makes himself right at home and brings warmth, companionship, and plenty of personality to a household. He does not enjoy being picked up, he would rather sit beside you than on your lap, and table food does not impress him much, but love and attention definitely do. Important: Flash Is an Escape Artist Flash is remarkably clever and can find or create ways out of surprisingly secure areas. He once escaped by swimming across a lake to a neighbor's property. His new family will want to be aware of his talent for adventure and consider what arrangements will help keep him safe, including secure fencing, carefully monitored outdoor time, and secure equipment for walks. He is happiest when he is with his people, but he can't help his himself! If he sees an escape route is is GONE! Aside from his adventurous streak, Flash is an exceptionally easy, loving companion with a truly wonderful personality. He is affectionate, bright, well behaved, and a joy to have around.

In December of 2024, there were three puppies abandoned in a garbage bag at a disposal site. It could have ended in a horrific accident, but we were able to save these young pups. After spending some time at the city shelter, we were able to find a foster for our In-Jung. At the first foster home, it was a young 30s foster single lady. When she came back from work one day, she noticed that In Jung was scratching his eyes a lot. We sent him for an exam the next day and after a few days of testing and monitoring, the doctor recommended surgery to remove the eye. In-Jung is a healthy, energetic, and incredibly affectionate young Dachshund/Terrier mix with a bright personality and a love for life. His sparkling eyes, playful spirit, and endless affection make him impossible not to love. He enjoys giving kisses, cuddling on the couch, and asking for belly rubs. Intelligent and eager to learn, he already knows sit, down, crate, and wait, and he picks up new routines very quickly. While he may be a little shy around unfamiliar people or loud noises at first, he adapts quickly with patient guidance and positive experiences. He loves nose work games, enjoys being close to his family, has no separation anxiety, and sees his crate as a safe place. With his loving personality, playful energy, and willingness to learn, In-Jung is ready to become a wonderful lifelong companion for an active family. Medical Notes: one eye surgically removed Good with women: Yes Good with men: Yes, a little shy of men at first but warms up quickly Good with kids: Yes, he has become comfortable around children. He shows little interest in them but is not fearful or aggressive. Good with dogs: Yes, he is very social and eager to meet other dogs. He loves initiating play by pawing and playfully bumping into them. Good with cats: Unknown, he has shown little interest when passing cats outdoors House trained: Yes, primarily indoor potty trained using pee pads, but will also go to the bathroom outdoors during exercise Crate trained: Yes, he knows the "crate" command, sleeps in his crate, and uses it as a safe place whenever he feels nervous Energy level: Med/high - In-Jung is an active, athletic puppy with excellent stamina who loves to run, play, and explore Barker: Sometimes, generally quiet indoors but will bark when he hears unfamiliar noises or movement outside the home or near the dog park Flight risk: Moderate, he may try to squeeze through gates or dart out an open door to stay close to people. He understands "sit" and can wait at doors, but careful supervision is recommended. Food aggressive: No, he has never shown resource guarding. He may try to grab treats quickly if he thinks they'll be taken away, but he responds well to the "wait" command and patiently waits for permission. Walks on leash: In progress, he is becoming comfortable on leash. He occasionally chews the leash at first but settles quickly. He currently goes for walks every other day and also enjoys about 30 minutes of running and enrichment games at home. Rides well in car: Yes Destructive: No destructive behaviors have been reported Needs a home with a yard: Not required, but he would certainly enjoy a securely fenced yard where he can run and burn off his energy Needs a home with another dog: Not required, but he would likely enjoy having a playful canine companion because he loves interacting with other dogs Can live in an apartment: Yes, he can do well in an apartment if he receives plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. His family should be aware that he may alert bark at unfamiliar noises outside. Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

QUICK FACTS Name: KitKatAge: 7 months oldBreed: Dachshund MixGender: Male, NeuteredWeight: 4.5 kg / 9.9 lbsColor: Black & White Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY My story began in Taean, where my mom gave birth to me and my siblings. Sadly, instead of being given a safe place to grow up together, we were each tied up separately near a mountainside and left there. We were at risk of being sold off to anyone who would take us, without knowing what kind of future was waiting for us. Thankfully, we were rescued and given a second chance. Now, I’m safe and growing into the sweetest little boy. What I need next is something I’ve never had before—a loving family and a home I can truly call my own.   MY HEALTH Neutered Vaccinations up-to-date No known health concerns   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m KitKat! I’m a sweet, playful little boy who can be a tiny bit shy when we first meet. But here’s my secret: treats are definitely the way to my heart! Offer me something yummy, give me a little time, and my shy act disappears pretty quickly. Once I decide you’re my friend, I become affectionate and will happily follow you around. When I really trust you, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly. And did I mention that I love toys? Playing is one of my favourite things to do, and my playful side really comes out when there’s a fun toy involved. I also have a pretty unique look. My body has short fur, but the fur around my ears grows longer, giving me an adorable look all my own. Add my short little legs and white “socks,” and I’m pretty hard to resist! I may need a moment to get to know you, but once I do, you’ll discover a loving, playful little shadow who wants to stay close to his people.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little reserved when I first meet someone new, but I warm up quickly—especially with the help of treats! Once I’m comfortable, I enjoy affection, can be gently picked up and held, and may even show you my belly. · With Children: I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so we don’t know exactly how I would interact with younger kids. Gentle and supervised introductions would be best. · With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with other dogs! I enjoy approaching both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play. If another dog becomes confrontational or too pushy, I’m more likely to move away than escalate the situation. · With Cats: I haven’t had enough experience around cats yet for us to know how I would behave living with one. If my future family has a cat, slow and supervised introductions would be important.   MY ENERGY LEVEL I have a moderate energy level with a nice balance of play and relaxation. I enjoy being outside, exploring, playing with my toys, and having fun, but after I’ve had enough activity, I’m able to settle down and relax. Since I’m only seven months old, I’m still a puppy and naturally have plenty of curiosity and playful energy. My personality and activity needs may continue to develop as I grow.   MY WALKING SKILLS I’m currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash. I may pull sometimes because there are so many interesting things to see and smell, but overall, I follow my person well. I’m still young and learning, so continued practice, patience, and positive reinforcement will help me develop even better leash manners. And since treats work so well with me, training can be a pretty fun way for us to bond!   MY HOME LIFE & MANNERS For a young pup, I’m already showing some wonderful qualities. I’m generally very quiet and rarely bark, and I’m able to settle calmly when I’m in a kennel. I currently use both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas. Since I’m still young, my future family should expect to continue reinforcing my potty routine while I adjust to my new home. I also show no food guarding toward people or other dogs. And if you want to see my playful side, just bring out a toy! Toys are one of my absolute favourite things and a great way to help me feel comfortable and connect with me.   WHAT I’M STILL LEARNING I’m only seven months old, so I’m still learning about the world and what it means to be part of a family. I’m continuing to work on leash manners, potty routines, household expectations, and building confidence in new situations. Sometimes I may seem shy when something—or someone—is unfamiliar. I don’t need to be rushed. A little patience, some positive encouragement, and maybe a tasty treat are usually all I need before my sweet personality starts coming through. I already have a wonderful foundation, and with a family willing to continue guiding me, I have so much potential.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m still young and adaptable, so I could potentially thrive in many different types of homes. I’d love a family who understands that I may need a little time to feel completely comfortable with new people and experiences. Once I feel safe, though, I bond quickly and love staying close to my people. Since I’m friendly and playful with other dogs, I could potentially live with a compatible canine sibling too. My ideal family will continue my training, give me opportunities to play and explore, and help me experience new things at my own pace. Most importantly, I’m looking for people who will give me the security, patience, and affection I need to understand that this time, I’m finally home.   WHY YOU’LL LOVE ME I might act a little shy when we first meet, but don’t be fooled for long. Give me a treat, a little patience, and maybe my favourite toy, and pretty soon I might be following you around wondering where you’re going next. I’m sweet, playful, gentle, and social with other dogs. I rarely bark, I know how to settle, and once I trust you, I’m happy to show you just how affectionate I can be. And then there’s my look—my short little legs, adorable white socks, and those uniquely fluffy ears give me a charm that’s completely my own. My beginning wasn’t the easiest. I once lived tied up on a mountainside without knowing where I might end up. But that part of my story is over. Now I’m ready for toys, adventures, belly rubs, and a family I can follow around for the rest of my life.   KITKAT’S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt:  https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2853467##
