Story
Meet Bbang He must travel in-cabin, so we are currently only accepting applications from adopters who can pick up in Toronto or Calgary. • Name: Bbang • Age: 5 years • Sex: Neutered Male • Breed: Maltese • Color: White • Weight: 2.4 kg • Height (shoulder): 23 cm   Rescue Story Bbang was left behind when his previous owner moved overseas. He was abandoned at a golf course where he had been a regular visitor. During his time there, he was unfortunately mistreated by some male guests and forced to stay in a storage area. A kind caretaker who looked after him reached out to us, hoping to find him a safe and loving forever home.   Personality & Socialization (People) Bbang is a very affectionate and friendly little dog who loves people. He approaches both familiar faces and strangers with ease, often leaning in for pets and attention.   In new environments, he may show a brief moment of shyness, but he quickly warms up—especially with treats—and does not show any guarding or defensive behavior. He is comfortable with men and has also done well around children he met at the park.   He can be picked up easily and, once bonded, will happily roll over to show his belly for rubs.   Socialization (Dogs) Bbang is polite and social with other dogs. He enjoys greeting both familiar and unfamiliar dogs but is not overly playful.   He tends to avoid larger dogs at first and may be a bit intimidated by them. However, he is friendly with dogs of similar or smaller size and prefers calmer companions. High-energy dogs can feel overwhelming for him.   Even when provoked, he chooses to avoid conflict rather than react.   With Cats Bbang is currently living with a cat and has been doing very well. They even share the bed and sleep together.   Energy Level He has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but settles down nicely and rests calmly afterward.   ‍ Walks Bbang has good leash manners and does not pull. He prefers walking over excessive sniffing and follows his handler well.   He is attentive outdoors and has shown good behavior, such as waiting calmly when cars pass.   Additional Notes • May show food guarding toward humans (growling if touched while eating), but does not guard from other dogs • No excessive barking • Mild initial whining in a kennel, but settles within a few minutes • Enjoys car rides • Currently practicing for in-cabin flight travel using a carrier • Fully trained for both pee pads and outdoor potty • May mark in new environments   Ideal Home Bbang would thrive in a loving home that understands small dog sensitivities and can provide a calm, stable environment. He would do especially well with gentle handling during mealtimes and with companions who respect his space when needed.   If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who will happily stay by your side, Bbang could be the perfect match Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram! ##2707777##

Story
Ready for her flight home upon adoption.BackgroundSoonsoon was rescued from a puppy mill in Gimpo in December 2025. After her rescue, she moved to our partner boarding home where she now lives with other dogs. For the first time in her life, Soonsoon is in a safe place where she is cared for and surrounded by kindness.Personality and SocializationSoonsoon is a sweet and loving girl with a medium energy level. She has the classic gentle Maltese personality. She is smart, affectionate, and friendly, and truly enjoys being close to people. Soonsoon is comfortable meeting new people and happily greets both men and women. She loves attention and enjoys every moment of being loved.With other dogs, Soonsoon is very sweet and friendly. She feels most comfortable around small dogs and enjoys their company. Big dogs can make her a little nervous, but she keeps her gentle and easygoing nature. Soonsoon likes other dogs and has a soft, kind personality. She has no expereinces with cats or young childen.BehaviourSoonsoon rides well in the car and usually rests quietly during the trip. She is calm and cooperative at the vet and handles baths and grooming without any trouble. Although she is new to leash walking, she walks nicely on the leash and enjoys her outings. Soonsoon does not show destructive behaviour. She is comfortable using pee pads indoors and also goes potty outside. She is a patient and gentle girl who is still learning about the world around her.Health and DietSoonsoon is healthy and has received full veterinary care. She is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and receives regular parasite prevention. She does have a few missing teeth, but her dental work, including scaling, has been completed, and she is doing well. She currently eats dry kibble twice a day and shows no signs of allergies.Ideal HomeSoonsoon would do best in a calm and loving home where someone is around most of the time. Someone who works from home or a retired person would be a wonderful match for her. With patience and love, Soonsoon will continue to gain confidence and enjoy life more each day. She is a gentle and loyal companion, and whoever welcomes this sweet girl into their home will be very lucky.

Fostered in Hamilton areaApply 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. Nika is a fun little white dog with a big personality (and tongue). Nika is still getting used to all the TLC but is warming up to being a little white shadow following you around. Nika is starting to enjoy the behind the ear scratches that maybe she did not receive enough of in her previous life. She enjoys naps but also wakes up with youthful energy ready to be your buddy; she loves her blankie-pillow a lot, especially right out of the drier. She lets you know when she needs to go out to potty (little barks usually mean pee-pee, little grumbles mean #2) and has learned quickly how to go on brief walks on her little pink leash.Nika is a little 'derpy' angel. She has a been a pleasure to foster.Adoption fee: $99Name: NikaBreed: Mixed X Lhasa Apso Age: ~12+ years Weight: ~13lbSex: Female, spayedMedical: Received dental and all remaining teeth were removed; mammary masses removed - biopsy benign.
