My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*This dog is scheduled to arrive in Grimsby, Ontario on Saturday, March, 22 2025*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.

This adorable, long-legged Chihuahua is full of energy and personality! Weighing just 9 pounds, Tika is a playful and athletic little pup who loves to explore, run, and wrestle with her dog friends. Shes the fastest in the pack, often outrunning and even lapping her playmates during a game of chase!

Despite her energetic nature, Tika is not a big barker and does well in her puppy pen. Shes house-trained and also knows how to use potty pads. Once shes had her fun, she loves to snuggle up and shower her humans with sweet kisses. Unlike the typical Chihuahua stereotype, shes neither nippy nor nervous - just a happy, loving girl who brings joy to everyone around her.

Tika would thrive in an active home with people who will keep her engaged and give her plenty of love. A playful canine sibling would be a dream come true for her! She has been very good at matching her energy to the dogs that she is round - taking it back a notch with lower energy dogs and going into full play mode with others. She is most comfortable with other small dogs, but has been around large dogs with no issues.

Her biggest area of to work on would be not jumping up on people.

If you're looking for a fun, affectionate companion, Tika is your girl!

Additional adoption info

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue is looking for committed adopters, ready to bring a rescue dog into their life. In order to ensure that we find the best homes for our dogs, adoption applicants must go through an adoption approval process. We receive a number of applications for each dog and only one will be chosen as the successful candidate. Candidates are selected based on the dog's needs. Not being selected for the dog that you applied for does not disqualify you from adopting from us in the future.

Go meet their pets

We do our very best to place our dogs into adoptive homes before they arrive into Canada. This ensures that they have a safe and loving place to go after their long journey up North. All dogs adopted through R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue will receive a 15 day adoption probation period. This period starts the day the dog enters the care of the adopter. This means that the adoptive family has 15 days to determine that dog is a good fit for them. Although it may feel scary to not meet the dog before adopting, the 15 day period allows you to get to know the dog within your home. If you buy a dog off of Kijiji or at a local shelter you may be given a couple hours to meet the dog. We believe that our program's 15 day probation provides much more insight into how he or she will fit into your home, rather than. a brief meet and greet.

More about this rescue

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue was founded in 2020 by a small group of young women with one thing is common: a love for dogs. Since establishment, RDR has successfully found forever homed for over 700 dogs. Our mission is to rescue dogs in dire situations and give them a second chance at life through education and empowerment. All of our dogs come the streets and shelters across Texas, where they are experiencing a dog overpopulation crisis. Our team has travelled to the State to see first-hand how we can help and make a difference in the lives of animals.
R.E.B.E.L stands for: rescue, educate, believe, empower and love dogs. We live by these words every day and encourage the dog-loving community to follow suit!
