Story
Currently in Vancouver!!! Meet Macy, a delightful 5-year-old spayed female terrier mix with an adorable brown and white coat, weighing in at 6.5kg. She’s the perfect combination of charm and tranquility, and her personality is sure to steal your heart. Macy might be a bit shy at first, but offer her a treat, and she’ll warm up in no time—letting you pet her and even showing her belly! While she’s not a fan of sudden movements or loud noises from children under 13, she’s otherwise gentle and approachable. She’s even comfortable being picked up when cradled properly. When it comes to other dogs, Macy is polite and curious, happily greeting them but preferring to stick to herself rather than joining in on rough-and-tumble play. She’s more at ease with dogs her size or smaller and tends to shy away from big or overly energetic ones. Even when provoked, Macy is the peacekeeper, quietly stepping away and showing little interest in canine drama. On walks, her focus is fully on her human, even when cats cross her path! Macy has a wonderfully low energy level and loves nothing more than relaxing at home. She’s a dream on walks, never pulling on the leash and happily matching her pace to yours. She’s quiet as a mouse, doesn’t guard her food, and is perfectly comfortable in a crate. While car rides can be a bit daunting for her, she’ll do fine if carried into the vehicle. Plus, she’s 100% potty trained for outdoor living—no mess, no stress! Macy’s foster journey has been incredible. Having started as a timid soul, she’s spent six months with a trainer and has made tremendous strides in overcoming her fears of people. Now, she confidently shows her belly to strangers and enjoys affection from those around her. She knows basic commands like “come,” “sit,” and “paw,” and while she’s calm at home, she’s always ready for a cuddle or a stroll with her favorite humans. Maxy is great with grooming too—nail trimming, bathing, and even teeth brushing are no problem! If you’re looking for a mellow, sweet companion who’s ready to love and be loved, Macy might just be the perfect match for you!

Story
Dude is currently fostered in Niagara Falls. 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. Dude is an energetic and playful young Jack Russell Terrier mix whos ready to find a patient and loving forever home. He is a great medium sized dog, and has a curious personality and plenty of energy. Dude was part of an unplanned litter, born in March of 2023. The woman had trouble rehoming all 11 puppies, and reached out to one of our partners to surrender. Dude has not received much socialization or training, if any at all. When he first joined his foster ranch, he would bark and growl to try and scare people off (he has never attempted to bite). Despite this, he was always curious. After a few days of settling in, his fear reactivity subsided. You can tell that he really wants to be a part of the family, but isn't quite sure where to start. He may start off a bit skittish and shy, but Dude warms up quickly with time and patience, especially when hes given the chance to build confidence - and if treats are involved! Hes making great progress with leash training and crate training, although he can be nervous initially and takes some coaxing. Dude loves to play and will play with you for as long as you'll let him! Hes been good with dogs of similar size in his foster home, but due to lack of socialization he can be unsure, therefore proper introductions are important. Hes still working on house training and building confidence, but with consistent guidance, training and a loving environment, he has great potential to become a well-mannered and confident companion.Dude would thrive in a detached home, and outside of a bustling city environment. His ideal family will have the patience to help him grow into his best self while giving him plenty of love and structure. If youre ready to embrace this high-energy, curious, and lovable pup, Dude is excited to meet you!Name: DudeBreed: Jack Russell Terrier mix (vetting also says heeler)Age: ~9 months - born March 11, 2024Weight: ~35lbSex: Male, neutered prior to adoptionColour: White and brownMedical: No concernsGood with men: Yes, takes time to warm upGood with women: Yes, takes time to warm upGood with kids 0-6: Unknown, no exposure - would say no due to fear-reactivity Good with kids 6+: Unknown, no exposure - would say kids with dog experience over age 12 would be best Good with dogs: Yes, but due to limited socialization with dogs outside of his pack growing up, he needs slow introductions Good with cats: Unknown, no exposureHouse trained: Working on it Crate trained: Yes, settles after some initial barking/whiningResource guarding: None seen Walks on a leash: Working on it, he is nervous and needs coaxing Energy level: HighRequires detached/single home: YesSeparation anxiety: None notedBarker: Average (may bark more at first due to fear)

Story
Quick Facts Name: Dino Aga: 1.5 years old Gender: Male Spayed: Yes Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Colour: White & brown Weight: 10kg My Story Hey there, my future best friend! It's me, Dino, a little guy with a big heart and a knack for looking sharp-I mean, check out my natural "eye makeup"! I'm a fun-loving boy who can't wait to find a forever family to call my own! I'm a Jack Russell Terrier mix boy, only 1.5 years old, with a sleek white coat and adorable brown spots. I weigh 10 kg (22 lbs) and have a lot of love packed into my small frame! I started my journey at a shelter in Gangneung and was on the list for something called "euthanasia"-but a wonderful group of people stepped in to rescue me at just 7 months old. Now, I'm fully vaccinated and neutered, so I'm all set for my new adventure with you! My Social Side I'm a friendly guy, though I can be a little shy when I first meet people. But hey, offer me a treat, and I'll be your friend in no time! Once we've spent a few days together, I'll be rolling over to show you my belly and giving you all the snuggles you want. It might take me 3 to 7 days to feel completely at home, but then you'll have my whole heart. With other Dogs: I'm a pup who plays well with others, no matter their size! I'm open to making friends with bigger, smaller, or similarly-sized dogs. I've got a warm and welcoming attitude, so if you have other dogs, I'm ready to fit right in. Cats and Birds: I haven't met any cats yet, so I'm not sure how I'd react. Birds, though? Not much interest there. I'd rather stick close to my human and dog buddies! My Energy Level & Walks I have a moderate energy level, which means I enjoy outdoor time and play sessions but also love to relax afterward. I've been practicing my leash walking, and I'm getting the hang of it! Busy roads and loud sounds can make me a bit nervous, so I prefer calmer spaces where I can walk with confidence. Why You'll Love Me I'm a softie with a big heart! I share my food nicely with humans but might give a little growl if another dog gets too close to my bowl-just setting some friendly boundaries. I'm house-trained for both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks, and my crate is my little sanctuary where I'll settle quietly on my own. When I'm exploring a new place, I might do a little marking, but hey, I'm just saying hello to my new surroundings! Last Message If you're looking for a buddy who's gentle, a little curious, and always ready for an adventure, I think we'd make a great pair. I've got lots of love to give and can't wait to bring a little extra joy to your life. Let's make each other's lives even better-I'm ready if you are!

Story
Rody is a 6-month-old puppy with a heartwarming story of survival. Once at risk of euthanasia in a shelter, he has been given a second chance at life. Currently weighing 9 kg, Rody is expected to grow to around 15 kg as an adult. Despite his young age, he is well-mannered and enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes while also being friendly with people. As a young puppy, Rody is at a crucial stage for socialization training. He is sensitive to loud noises and may get startled by motorcycles or cars during walks. While he walks calmly most of the time, a double leash is recommended for his safety in such situations. With gradual exposure to noises, his sensitivity can improve over time, and he can be desensitized through consistent training at home and outside. Rody loves outdoor activities and enjoys playing with toys, reflecting his lively and playful personality. He is already well-trained to do his business outside, although he may have occasional accidents in unfamiliar places. With regular outdoor routines, he is quick to adapt. Rody is a food enthusiast and has a calm demeanor, rarely barking. As he is still young, he is eager to learn and will thrive with opportunities to experience new things, such as riding in an elevator or car. With consistent training, patience, and love, Rody will grow into a well-mannered and delightful companion. Rody is looking for a family who can provide him with a warm and secure home. He’s ready to begin his journey of love and joy with his new family. Are you ready to welcome Rody into your life?

Story
WISHBONE is currently being fostered in LONDON, ONTARIO Let me introduce you to Wishbone! He is approx. 3 yrs and 18.3 lbs. He is a sweet, cuddly and loveable Jack Russell mix who loves sleeping next to people. He was a Canadian owner surrender. It is essential to research the Jack Russel terrier breed to make yourself familiar with their traits and typical behavior. He had a complicated neuter due to undecended testicle and a hernia and cherry eye surgery. Wishbone also had an ear infection in both ears. It was treated during the surgery. He has recovered wonderfully without any issues. Wishbone will sometimes bark when he hears unknown noises, and he will let you know when someone is at the door, or if he needs something. He is not a destructive chewer. He will chew his own toys, but he will destroy softer toys very quickly. His energy level varies and can depend on home environment. If his forever home has too many things going on, it would stimulate him causing him to be more hyper. However, if the home is quiet, he will be a quiet dog and choose to sleep most of the day. Currently, he stays in a crate while his foster is at work. However, prefers to sleep with his human in bed all night. He is good with other dogs, but has NOT been tested with small dogs. He is currently living with a 55 lbs dog and gets along very well. He would do best with a dog his size or bigger OR as an only dog. Wishbone will chase cats, so NO cats in the home please. He has NOT been tested with kids. Well mannered and dog savvy children over 15 yrs is recommended. Wishbone does require calming meds when going to the veterinarian. He has some anxiety with vet visits and requires these meds to allow the vets to handle him. It is also best for nail trims to be done at the vet. Wishbone does not like being picked up and needs to be approached slowly. He may nip under certain circumstances, but it is very preventable as long as he can see your hands approaching. For example, touching his body without warning while he is sleeping may startle him.
