Story
Introducing Axel: The Energetic Pup Ready for His Fresh Start! (case #01-06-OTC-06) Meet Axel, an 8-month-old American Bulldog cross with a heart as big as his paws! This playful, curious pup arrived as an unclaimed stray with his brother, and while they share a similar temperament, Axel is ready to find his own path and start a brand-new adventure with his forever family. Axel is a smart, spirited young dog who has a lot to learn, but he’s eager to soak up knowledge and grow. He’s got a wonderful, friendly nature, but like any young pup, he’ll benefit from some training classes to help him become the well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. With the right guidance and consistency from his new family, Axel will thrive and become the confident, well-behaved boy we know he can be. A wise and steady dog in his new home would be a perfect mentor for Axel, helping him learn the ropes and adjust to his new routine. Axel is also a great candidate for a home with small animals and cats, as long as introductions are done slowly and carefully. His friendly nature makes him a promising match for households with other pets. One thing to keep in mind: Axel has a serious appetite! He arrived with an eagerness for food, and while there are no signs of food guarding at this time, he’ll benefit from a foster or adopter who is willing to work on food games and trading exercises to help him build confidence and prevent any potential issues down the line. Axle is currently in a foster home with a cat and a senior dog. He is respectful of their space and is doing well sleeping in a crate at nighttime. He is a fast learner and is catching on quickly, learning that he cannot put his paws on the counter or go on the couch. Axel may still be a work in progress, but his loving, curious nature is just waiting to shine with the right family. If you’re ready to invest time and patience into helping Axel grow into the best version of himself, he’ll reward you with endless love, loyalty, and joy. Ready to give Axel the fresh start he’s dreaming of? Complete an adoption application for this charming boy today and see how quickly he’ll steal your heart!

I enjoy hanging out with the staff here, and I get along with my fellow dog friends—playtime is one of my favorite activities! I’m a smart boy too!

Meet Baker!! (case #02-06-OTC-01) Name: Baker Age: 2 years old Breed: American Bulldog Cross Personality: Shy but sweet, affectionate, and playful Health: In good health but will need to be neutered Interviewer: Baker, you're a bit of a mystery! Can you tell us a little about yourself? Baker: Well, I was found as a stray, and I guess I’ve been a little unsure of the world since then. I’m still warming up to people, but once I trust you, I’m all about affection. I’m a bit shy at first, but give me some time, and I’ll be your best friend. I love running around outside, and I can be really playful once I get comfortable. Interviewer: What kind of home would you like to have, Baker? Baker: I need a family who understands that I’m still learning about the world and need some patience. A home with other dogs would be great because I really enjoy playing with them. I’d like someone who can take me on lots of walks and help me get the exercise I need. It’s important for me to have a lot of activity to keep me happy and healthy! Interviewer: What about your training needs? Baker: Well, I’m still learning a lot! I don’t know any commands just yet, and I tend to pull on the leash when I’m walked. But I’m a quick learner, and I would thrive in obedience classes! Positive reinforcement works wonders for me. I just need someone who can help me build confidence and teach me the right way to behave on a leash. Interviewer: It sounds like you're a fun dog with a lot of potential! What makes you special? Baker: I’m sweet and affectionate, and once I feel safe, I’ll shower you with love! I’m still a bit shy, but with time, I’ll open up and show you just how loyal I can be. I love to run and play, and I’d be the perfect companion for a family who loves the outdoors. And I think I’d really thrive with another dog to show me the ropes and help keep me active. Interviewer: Do you have any advice for potential adopters? Baker: If you’re looking for a loving, playful dog with a little bit of a shy side, I could be the one for you. I just need someone who’s patient and ready to help me build my confidence. In return, I promise to be your loyal buddy, always ready to run, play, and snuggle when the time is right! Conclusion: Baker is a sweet, affectionate boy with a lot of potential. He’ll need a family who’s committed to giving him exercise, training, and patience as he works on building his confidence and learning commands. If you’re ready to help this lovable pup become his best self, you won’t regret bringing Baker into your home!

Story
*This dog is located in the Niagara area*Apply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*Hey yall, Im Otis! One of my hobbies is napping, whether it be on your carpet or in your lap. I weigh 76 lbs, but weighted blankets are a thing these days right!? I love being outdoors but short walks are my thing as I get tired easily. I would like to say that Im a total love bug once I get to know you! Otis has embarked on a board & train program following minor bite incidents so that we could learn more about how we can help Otis succeed and become a well-balanced and confident dog. From Otis' trainer:After working with Otis in our board and train program we have discovered he is not an aggressive dog. Otis is nervous, sensitive and fearful. Mainly to new people and loud noises. He needs an owner who will continue his training. He has learnt place, leash walking, crate training, sit, recall, release command, waiting at thresholds and waiting for food. Otis responds well to a calm, confident leader and is already e-collar and muzzle trained! He needs someone to help with his decision making and continue to use his tools to assist him in that. He is not a high energy dog so the walks and keeping his training up is all he needs. Otis will also need an owner who advocates for him, so that means making sure not to let strangers walk up on him. He is unsure of loud noises and even the vacuum cleaner. We continue to teach Otis how to walk away when he feels nervous instead of becoming defensive. This is another example of advocating for him. His new must be stepping in when he feels nervous and getting him to a place where he feels confident and safe. Otis is looking to put his bite history in the past. We are confident with the right owner he will be successful and make a wonderful companion!Name: Otis Weight: ~76lbsAge ~6.5 yearsGender: MaleBreed: American bulldog mixColour: WhiteMedical: Skin cancer removal on genital area.

*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. Golden is such a goofy girl. She is reserved in the kennel, walks well on the leash, readily allows pets all over and has been friendly with everyone shes met. She is a bit shy at first and will take new situations slowly and cautiously until she sees that youre her friend. Once she gets comfortable Golden really comes alive and wants nothing more than to be in your lap.Golden is crate-trained, house-broken, and has done wonderfully with children - she instinctively knows how to be gentle when needed. She is curious and observant, always analyzing her surroundings. Initially she is shy, but with reassurance she quickly warms up and is ready to explore and play. Golden has interacted well off leash in the yard with other dogs, and just like with new people, goes slow at first until she gets comfortable. Once she is comfortable she loves playing chase in the yard. Golden was adopted a few months ago but brought back to the shelter for not co-existing well with the cats in the home. She has shown no signs of separation anxiety, and would happily sleep or chew on her bone when her owner had to go to work. She perks up with excitement when her people return home, and will happily follow you around. Golden can be easily startled by loud noises or a lot of commotion, so a home without too much hustle and bustle would be best for her. Overall, Golden is an amazing, loveable and calm companion who will adapt to her new home easily with love, patience and confidence building.
