My story

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

Sebastian is fostered in Niagara Falls Ontario.

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.

Hello, I'm Sebastian. Don't let my senior status fool you, I've got a lot of love and energy left to give. I'm a gentleman, always polite and calm. I can do my own thing if you're busy, but I'll never say no to a friendly pat or a gentle word. I've seen a lot in my years, and I've learned to appreciate the simple joys in life. A warm bed, a tasty treat, a quiet afternoon... these are the things that make me happy. I love to say hello to new friends, approaching with a happy tail wag, wanting pets and giving kisses. If you're looking for a loyal friend who will appreciate every moment with you, I could be your Sebastian.

An ideal home for this dog would be one where he gets to spend lots of time with people. He is very people oriented. He does enjoy some doggy friends but thrives on people's attention. He does well on leash walks and knows how to relax at home.

Sebastian was saved from euthanasia n 2017, adopted 4 days later then turned into local humane society in Nov 2024 as a stray, owners never returned contact about intentions to reclaim.

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!
