REBEL

Rebel is a mellow gentleman who just wants to live peacefully and snooze the day away by his person’s side! In the shelter, Rebel has been a polite and slow-paced walking companion who has made new human friends easily. He warms up quickly and appreciates calm affection. When meeting other dogs in playgroup, Rebel has been social and even a bit playful, with staff describing him as “very sweet and easygoing.”

Ideal Home

Rebel would prefer a home without small dogs or cats. He'd like to meet any resident dogs before heading home.

Ongoing Health

Rebel is an old man with some typical old man aches and pains, so is looking for a home where he can have plenty of soft spots to rest and where his family will be dedicated to his comfort. His rear end is currently sensitive due to potential injury or age, and he needs calm, gentle handling. Use caution if needing forced handling or touching his rear legs/torso.

Training & Support

Rebel can be jumpy and mouthy, and requires regular mental stimulation. This can be provided through training, puzzle feeders, or puzzle games. He may chase or pull towards small animals and may need a strong handler when out on walks. Rebel has a history of undocumented bites, which may have been due to painful handling on his rear end. He has had altercations with other resident dogs in his previous home and may do best without other dogs. Muzzle training can be a useful tool for initial introductions to any new dogs. He cannot go to dog parks.
