Story
URGENT FOSTER NEEDED Chilli is a ~6 month old 30lb shepherd mix who was found tied to a park bench with his brother. They were extremely scared and shut down in the shelter and needed out. Unfortunately hes proven to be more than expected in his current foster home and we are tasked with finding him a more suitable environment. Chilli is indeed a spicy pup - and not in a mean way but a Im a young and active shepherd mix whos never had a structured or stable environment kinda way.He needs a foster whos committed to working with him. He is very smart and has a lot of potential - but he needs someone to step up and meet him where hes at, working towards a balanced and well behaved young dog. Must haves: Detached/Single home - Chilli likes to talk back when he wants something. Patience - let us be clear - this pup needs work. As demanding as he can be, he is also very fearful. He is generally scared of people, doesnt know how to walk properly on a leash, and isnt house trained. Were starting from the ground up. Confidence - Chilli needs a leader. He is a young, high-drive dog that has been left to fend for himself. Hes used to making the rules; its our turn to guide him. Yard - this isnt a sit on the couch and snooze all day type of dog. He is a high-energy breed and needs an outlet ..or two! Different activities will come in due time, but for now a backyard to run around in and work in is a must. In the right environment Chilli is going to be AMAZING - but it wont happen overnight and it wont happen without its challenges. It wont be easy, but it will be WORTH IT. Hes been dealt a real sh*t hand in his short life and he deserves this. If you think you can help him transform - reach out, wed love to chat. *videos on Instagram*

Story
*This dog is fostered in the GTA*All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website.Stag and his littermate were found tied to a park bench. They were brought to a local shelter, and were rescued. Stag is a very sweet, smart, lovable boy. He has good food drive, has learned 'wait' for his food, his recall is improving (in the yard) and his housetraining is improving everyday. Stag enjoys the company of people, and loves to cuddle on the couch. He is generally quiet in his crate, provided he has had opportunity to burn off his puppy energy. He is fearful of loud noises/new environments, particularly on walks, and so will need a leader that will help him learn about the world. He is not reactive to dogs on walks, but is scared when dogs bark at him. His ideal home would be in a quieter area. Stag can be nervous of busy streets and loud noises. He would also do best in a house with a yard, as he enjoys racing around and could do great with other backyard activities like playing with a flirt-pole. He needs a home where they will provide ongoing structure, socialization to new people/environments, and training so he can be the best boy.Good with men: Yes, but shy and warms up quicklyGood with women: Yes, friendly and outgoingGood with kids 0-6: Unknown, not testedGood with kids 7-15: Yes, has lived with children and does well - Stag is very people orientated and does well with children, overall. He seeks affection from them, and enjoys playing with them. No guarding noted. He can be nervous of quick movements/loud noises, but is getting better. He now typically will want to quickly return to the affection/play. Aggressive or fear based behaviours not observed. Would do best with dog-savvy children.When the dog meets new people he: Approaches cautiously, Wants affection, Loose body language, ShyGood with dogs: Yes, loves being around and playing with other dogsHow does this dog react to meeting new dogs? Very playful and outgoing, Loose body language, Jumpy/overly excited, SubmissiveWhat type(s) of dogs does this dog prefer/be best with? Stag has done well with the 2 resident dogs. He shows a lot of respect to my XL senior lab, who does not enjoy being jumped on. They can calmly co-exist, with some structure to ensure Stag does not get too unruly. He attempts to initiate play more with my younger resident Husky. Will respond to correction from her if his play style is too much. Needs to be structured to ensure his puppy antics do not become too much for older dogs.Good with Cats: Unknown, not testedCrate training: Must be placed in crate, Settles quickly and quietlyHouse training: Working on it about 75% thereResource Guarding: None seenWalks on a leash: Nervous and needs coaxingEnergy level: Medium-highAreas to work on: Needs confidence building, Fearful of loud noises, Excitability/jumping up on people, Walking nicely on a leashWhat type of environments would NOT be suitable for the dog? Condo/apartment, cityAny noted separation anxiety? None noted.Barker: Average - will bark when someone comes to the door, while playing, etc.

Story
Meet Zayn: A Sensitive Husky Mix Who Needs Time and UnderstandingZayn is a 3-year-old husky mix with a thoughtful, reserved nature and a heart that opens slowly. He’s the kind of dog who needs extra time to feel safe and comfortable in new situations, especially with new people. Once trust is built, Zayn shows his softer side, but patience and consistency are key when forming a relationship with him. He does best with calm, predictable routines and handlers who can move at his pace.Zayn is not suitable for a home with other animals and will need to be the only pet in the household. Due to his need for additional time and space to settle in, Zayn is best suited for an adult-only home with adopters who understand the importance of slow introductions, clear boundaries, and ongoing positive reinforcement. With the right environment and a committed adopter willing to invest the time he needs, Zayn has the potential to form a strong, loyal bond. If you’re looking for a companion and are prepared to offer patience, structure, and understanding, Zayn may be the dog for you.

Story
Laika Looking for someone who loves walks on the beach, adventure, and is gorgeous and loyal? If yes, swipe left to meet Laika. She is just an adorable 11 week old German Shepherd mix who is a treasure to have around. She currently weighs 15lbs but she will be a big girl at about 80 pounds when full grown. After a rough start in life in northern Manitoba, her challenges continued when she was diagnosed with parvovirus. She's a fighter though and survived after 2 days in ICU. Laika is happy, curious and full of energy. She enjoys playing with her foster brother and sister, her squeaky toys and taking long naps, snacks, loves ice cubes and the snow. She's a smarty pants, quick learner, good with new people and already figured out the sit and stay. She can sit and stay and will wait (for the most part) until the food is placed on the floor. She is great when it comes to sharing her toys and has shown no concerning behaviours when the other dogs are around while she’s eating. A home with an active family or a home with another dog would be great if possible. Laika is a high energy pup who is blossoming after surviving parvo. The foster parents have 2 dogs, and they have been excellent ambassadors to Laika. The foster parents do not have cats. She is crate trained and can be left in there for a few hours at a time. Her housetraining is a work in progress like most pups her age, but she does use pee pads reliably. For riding in the car, she needs a crate or seat belt due to her age as she tries to jump into your lap while driving. She is fed 3x’s per day puppy food December 16, 2025, 9:31 am
