Story
Meet Cairo! He is one of the last puppies available from our Cities Litter. Cairo is an American Bulldog/Pitbull mix who was born early December 2023. He is ready to say bon voyage and find his forever family! Cairo is an all around great dog. His loving, playful demeanor makes him the ideal family dog. His happy place is outdoors with his dog or human friends. He also loves any toy he's allowed to have. He is goofy, silly, and full of energy, but also loves a good snuggle session on the couch. He really is just a big, mushy love bug who wants to give and get love from humans and dogs. He is smart and very food motivated, which makes training easier. He is potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps through the night. He does well on a leash and is working on basic commands - knows "sit" and is close to knowing "crate" and "down". Cairo is kid and dog friendly, and would likely do well with cats with a proper introduction. Cairo will do well in most homes! He would love to have kids or another dog to play with, but would do well as an only dog in an active home. When applying, you are applying to meet ALL puppies in the litter. If you have an adult dog, they will accompany you during the meet and greet, and will help select the best match. Adoptions are based on connection and chemistry. Adoption is $325, which includes spay/neuter at our vet when age appropriate, vaccines to date of adoption, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health.

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

Story
Meet Diamond and Onyx: Two Sisters Dumped On The Street! These two gorgeous girls were found wandering the streets, alone and in need of a safe place to call home. A compassionate neighbor noticed them and spent several days ensuring they were secure and cared for. Thanks to this kindness, Diamond and Onyx are now ready to embark on a new journey toward a loving family. Both girls are incredibly sweet. They need slow introductions to other canine friends but have the potential to get along well. They can be fostered or adopted together or separately, depending on what’s best for them and you. With a bit of patience and love, they’ll show you just how fun and loving they can be. Diamond and Onyx are looking for foster-to-adopt homes where they can feel safe and cherished. Your home could be the fresh start they desperately need. Whether you’re able to welcome both sisters or just one, you’ll be giving them the gift of a loving family. Adoption is $275 if adopted individually, or $500 for the pair-which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

Story
Pancho is ready to embark on the next chapter of his incredible journey—finding his forever home! This resilient little fighter has overcome unimaginable odds, and his transformation is nothing short of miraculous. When Pancho came to us, he faced numerous medical challenges. After undergoing multiple surgeries, including the repair of a ruptured eye ulcer and the removal of his damaged ear canal, he’s now thriving. Although the remainder of his leg had to be amputated, Pancho doesn’t let anything slow him down. This spirited, pocket-sized bully bounces through life with joy, determination, and plenty of wiggles. Pancho’s personality is as big as his heart. He’s goofy, loving, and endlessly entertaining, with a knack for brightening every room he enters. Whether he’s showing off his playful antics or snuggling up for a quiet moment, Pancho is sure to bring laughter and love to his forever family. While Pancho adores meeting playful dogs, he’s still learning the ropes of proper socialization. For his happiness and success, he’s looking for a pet-free home where he can be the star of the show. Gradual socialization outside the household is something he’ll benefit from as he continues to grow and thrive. Pancho is searching for a special family who can give him the love, structure, and undivided attention he deserves. If you’ve been waiting for a one-of-a-kind companion to be your loyal sidekick, Pancho is ready to fill your life with endless joy. Will you be the one to give him his happily ever after? Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

Story
Bruno is a loving, sweet and protective dog. Real humble spirited and extremely friendly with humans; other dogs not so much as in his breed he can be extremely domineering and territorial, He is very well home train so you will need to let him outside several times of the day and you will be accident free. He is very low maintenance and really does his own thing but he will be very attentive of you or small children, Hes very mindful of his size and strength overall great dog. Unfortunately with my new job and current business I have to leave him alone for long periods of the day and with me in the process of moving I'm going to be down sizing in space and pets aren't allowed. I'm seeking a warm and loving home for him where he will continue to be spoiled and cared for like the big baby that he is. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Story
Let's talk about Ethel! Beautiful Ethel is a one of a kind personality. She is picky about her friends but when she likes you, she LOVES you, and she let's you know it. She will 100% steal your heart when she gently places her paw in your hand. If you put it down, she will just give it back and look at you with the most loving eyes you have ever seen. Then you know, you are her chosen friend for life. Ethel was found as a stray in horrible shape. She has clearly been through a lot but that in no way has stopped her from thriving and being the sweetest girl. Her glow up has made her almost unrecognizable to those that saw her when she first was found. Ethel is guessed to be around 3 years old. Ethel will need to be the only dog and we do not recommend small children for her forever family. Cats are unknown. Ethels new family would most likely need to be female only. Yes, this is very specific but she seems to not love men, which could be due to past trauma. Specific, but we know her forever Momma is out there. She will need a loving home that adores her as much as we do. Patience and meeting her where she is at will be important as everything will be new, but she is so eager for her own family. Can that be you?

Boxer English Bulldog

Female, Adult
Detroit, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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. Citrus has dog friends at the shelter - but incorporating her into a home dynamic with other dogs will take weeks. If you are up for it, we can discuss. We cover all needed vet care. The adoption fee is $275. Please apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt
