Kimchi came to us when his owner went to prison. He was a very confused boy at first, but is now excited and fun! Kimchi loves toys! Stuffies, things with squeekers, chew bones, he loves them all! Kimchi would love an intimate household, with one or two people he could shower with love. He does well in his kennel, and loves yard time. Kimchi is pretty potty trained. Kimchi is available as a foster-to-adopt placement, and his adoption fee is also sponsored! Apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt

We caught Nickelodeon as a stray, with his nails embedded into his paw pads. He was severely emaciated and dehydrated. Luckily, this resilient boy has bounced back like no other! Nickelodeon had his nails trimmed and the wounds addressed by the vet. He is almost done with his course of antibiotics, and has gained a bit of weight! Nickelodeon is a pleasure to be around! This boy would fit most households - he is so friendly and easy going. PLEASE FOSTER NICKELODEON - NO OWNER WAS MISSING THIS ABUSE VICTIM. HE NEEDS YOU! rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt rebeldogsdetroit.com/becomeafoster

Story
Come meet Cotton! This gentle boy was brought to us by a firefighter a while ago. Cotton was VERY scared back then and needed extensive decompression. He now recently opened up to us, and is ready to move into a foster or foster-to-adopt home! Cotton will always be slow to warm with change - but he has potential to live with a very relaxed dog or perhaps a senior pooch! Included in the adoption fee of $275 is up to date vet care, vaccines and dewormer, microchip and neuter surgery at our vet post adoption. Apply here if Cotton is pulling on your heartstrings: rebeldogsdetroit.com/becomeafoster

Now this handsome chunk is all healed up and ready to rob your Instagram! Close up snoutie! We know you haven't seen any-doggy cuter today! Kodak does -understandably- not want to live with other dogs, but he would love some older kids! Kodak is snuggly and stubborn, he knows exactly how handsome he is!

Description of the Pet This is Bonnie! 3 years old. Bull Terrior Pitbull mix. Fantastic in the home. No accidents. No need to be crated, even though she has a crate if prefers to go in! Minimal barker ! Barks when she hears another dog bark. Walks phenomenal on a leash. Loves toys of all kinds. Never destroys them either but prefers to sleep with them all. She is microchipped. Up to date on current vaccines and spayed. She is dog selective as lived alone outside for her three young years . She would prefer a home to herself where she can get all the attention. She loves people. Kids over the age of ten as toddlers scare her and she gets very anxious when they are around . She did test positive sadly for Heartworm. She has started her treatment and ALL vetting to continue treatment is paid for. She is a calm girl who just lays around yet loves being pet to the point you will get tired !!

Story
Citrus was living alone in an abandoned house with no doors or windows. We trapped her, and she got very upset. Citrus was growling for many many days, and did not allow any handling. She finally came around to trust us, and is now a loving sweetheart. Citrus wants an understanding foster-to-adopt home, who wants to baby her. She is estimated to be 2-4 years old, and a mix between English Bulldog and Boxer. Citrus has a classic cautious and disapproving yet personable English Bulldog personality, and the silly play style of a Boxer. We are looking for a household without children for Citrus. Leashed walks are fine, she does not require a fenced in yard. We cover all needed vet care. The adoption fee is $275. Please apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt
