Story
Hello! My name is Boo! I'm a friendly and very exuberant girl! I don't seem to have any training and am new to walking on leash. It's a bit scary so far. I'm looking forward to joining a family that has the patience and time for my puppy energy and the training that comes with that. I would love to go to training classes and my GHS friends are strongly recommending it to set me and my new family up for success!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes, older and respectful children.OTHER DOGS: Yes, a small or medium dog who will enjoy my puppy energy!CATS: Potentially, with cats confident and experienced with dogs and an owner experienced with the introduction.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Potentially, if you have strong dog knowledge and some dog experience as I am new to some things like walking on leash. And I would do best with someone who has strong pug knowledge, as we are brachycephalic and have needs associated with that.FENCED-IN YARD: No.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any. SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.I'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: No. HOUSE-TRAINED: No, I will need some help with house-training.

Story
*This dog is scheduled to arrive in Niagara, Ontario on Friday May 03*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. Jolene was found wandering the streets and when nobody came to claim her she became an official member of the rescue. From rescue partner: She is a feisty, friendly middle aged gal who does not know a stranger. Jolene is playful and full of life. Her adorable underbite makes her all the more precious. She is the first to greet me at the ranch where she gets along with all of the dogs and visitors that stop by. She is bigger than our little guys and much smaller than our big Pyrenees, but she seems to get along with them all. I think she sees herself as the official welcome ambassador to the ranch and we will miss her adorable playful personality.We are sending her on her way in hopes that she will find the wonderful family she deserves. She would do well with or without other dogs and would love nothing more than to find a great cuddle buddy to hang out with. She is a terrific little sweetheart who should have worn her retainer - but those crooked teeth are part of her signature look!!Name: JoleneWeight: ~16lbAge: ~7-8 yearsGender: FemaleBreed: Chihuahua X Pug Colour: Black/grey Medical: corneal opacity, dry flaky skin, received dental on April 11 (3 teeth removed) Fixed: Dark line on umbilicus, hard to tell if spay incision not appears to be spayed - has not gone into heatGood with men: Yes Good with women: Yes Good with kids 0-6: UnknownGood with 6+: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Crate aggressive/reactive: None seen Food guarding: None seen Walks on a leash: Yes Energy level: Low-medium Requires single detached home: NoSkittish/ nervous: NoSeparation anxiety: NoBarker: Average

Story
Meet Titus-1.5 yr Pug Mix male PLEASE READ ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE APPLYING Meet Titus! DOB 09-07-22, weighing 22lbs, he is a bundle of intelligence and energy who also gives the best snuggles! Titus was surrendered through no fault of his own and is now fully vetted and ready to find his ideal forever family. He would LOVE to be active in agility or scent training for mental stimulation and to channel his intelligence and very agile, active lifestyle At the same time, having quiet times to relax will give him the balance he needs. He loves to play but also likes his snuggle times. Titus is a bouncy boy who did not have any training prior to joining our rescue and will require a family dedicated to his ongoing training. He would be fine with older children who are dog savvy and understand how to interact appropriately with a high energy dog. * As a young dog with a life expectancy of 15-20yrs, he is not a suitable match for older seniors Titus is vocal at times and would not be a good fit for apartments or attached housing, he would love a fenced yard at his new home to run and play in with his family in between walks/adventures on hikes. Notes from his foster mom YOUR FOSTER DOG'S ENERGY LEVEL: Medium to High Titus is cautious of people he meets on the street and sometimes barks at them in excitement, he is working on his training to redirect with positive reinforcement. In the home, he gets very excited with visitors, jumping up and wanting their attention. Continuous training required in this area. He settles eventually when the attention is not on him. GOOD WITH CATS? Unknown but not recommended due to his likelihood of chasing them. No guarding behaviours observed in any area to this point. As with all dogs, respect during meals and with bones/chewies is ideal to ensure success. HOUSETRAINED? Yes CRATE TRAINED? For travel yes, but Titus is very stressed in a crate in the home and has been a good boy left loose in a dog proofed home Titus does not like to be alone and will whine/howl on and off throughout the time he is alone. He mostly sits or lays at the front door waiting for my return. He is only alone once a week for 4-5 hours and for occasional short periods if I have to run errands. PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR FOSTER DOG'S LEASH SKILLS. Titus pulls on leash and requires training in this area but is a bright boy who learns quickly with appropriate training. He is very food motivated and we use high value treats during his training. Titus is fine for grooming/handling with no negative reaction As is typical of young pups, he can be wiggly and occasionally mouth but never bites/no aggression whatsoever. Titus has met other dogs and would love a suitable canine friend who is young and tolerant of high energy dogs who love to play. He respects warnings from other dogs when he is being too much, but would not do well with a dog who is in his face/reactive. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE DOG'S PERSONALITY/TEMPERAMENT Friendly, loving, and playful and loves attention. He is very patient and easy to redirect if you need his attention. He loves to run outside and play in the snow and has an abundance of energy. When playing, he will mouth my hand if he gets too excited but he has never bitten. THINGS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT SPECIFICS PLEASE Titus needs training to not jump on and/or bark at people he meets, both outside and in the home. He needs to learn how to walk on leash without pulling. He responds to basic commands but will benefit from ongoing training to respond to the commands consistently. POTTY HABITS: Titus goes out for potty breaks several times a day in back yard, in addition to his walks. If he needs to go out in between these times, he will stand near door and quietly wimper. So far, he has only pooped in the back yard not on walks and again would do best in a home with a fenced yard Skills/Commands SIT? Yes STAY? Yes WAIT? No LAY DOWN? No LEAVE IT? No OFF? Yes DOWN? Yes COME? Yes ANY OTHER SKILLS/COMMANDS? Titus knows the basic commands but does not always respond consistently to them. This is a work in progress. PLEASE DESCRIBE CURRENT ROUTINES AND PREFERENCES THAT WILL HELP THE DOG SETTLE INTO THEIR NEW HOME: Titus is a very easy going dog. He sleeps with me on the bed at night, and waits until I get up in the morning. He does not go in a crate as he appears to be fearful of it. MANDATORY to have a family comfortable with a dog sleeping in their bed/on their furniture during the day. Titus would be miserable in a home where he is not allowed to do this. We go for a walk when we get up and then have breakfast. He is very patient and sits quietly as his meal is prepared. I have not observed any food aggression. After breakfast he is very energetic and likes to play with his toys and roll around. We go for either a walk or in the backyard throughout the day for additional exercise. If I am working, he will settle and have a nap. At night he likes to play with his toys, chew his bone or snuggle if it's TV time. STRENGTHS/AREAS THEY HAVE IMPROVED ON: Titus is responding more consistently to basic commands than when he arrived, especially to the "off" and "come" commands. He is more relaxed and comfortable In the crate in the car, he readily enters it and only exhibits a bit of shaking at first. I feel with consistent training and time, Titus will learn all his lessons quickly. He is eager to please. TRANSPORTATION-ANY MOTION SICKNESS OR ANXIETY IN VEHICLES? Titus is crated. He has some anxiety and shakes at first. So far he just lies down until the trip is over. He has not barked at people or other vehicles from the car. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE PERFECT ADOPTIVE HOME FOR YOUR FOSTER DOG BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED. He would do best in a household where he is not alone a lot. I think, however, once he realizes he is in his furever home and becomes more comfortable, he quite likely will adjust better to being alone with a consistent family routine. Once Titus feels safe and loved in his new home, and receives the training he needs, he will be an AMAZING pet and member of his new family. He has been an absolute joy to foster! ?? Adoption Fee $750 Notes: *Children must be over 10yrs, respectful and dog savvy with previous experience with dogs in the home. * Mandatory registration with an approved trainer is required to set Titus up for success with his new family *Must be located within Ontario Canada *Inground/ground level Pools and deeper ponds must be separately fenced from yard Hobo Haven is located in St Jacobs Ontario.

Story
Buddy! Thats his name AND his personality. This friendly pooch is ready to be your best bud and you are just in luck because he needs a new family to call his own. He is always willing to meet new human friends and give them a nice little how-do-you-do sniff. He can be a little shy/nervous at first and prefers to walk circles around you to check-you-out. He comes around very fast and soon he will be your bestest pal asking for pets, playtime and snackies.What does Buddy REALLY love though? DOGS! If you want to see Buddy come to life with the zoomies, bring him another canine friend. He gets along well with other dogs and his favorite thing to do is to get the other dog to try and chase him! He is a bit of a chonky boy so hes not the fastest (and would definitely lose at a game of tag) but it is so fun to watch him go go go!Speaking of being a chonky boy, his new owner will have to keep him on track with a good diet and not too many treatos as he needs to lose a few pounds. He tries to be a bit picky (only eating wet food or treats) to try and convince you to always give him the good junky foods. Otherwise, Buddy is a healthy boy that is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.Buddy previously had ongoing eye issues in the past but it has been repaired and has no further issues at this time.If you are interested in adopting Buddy, please call the West Region Shelter at 416-338-6271 to get the process started.
