*This dog is scheduled to arrive in Grimsby, Ontario on Saturday, January 18, 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.
Maddi is a cheerful, 1 year and 5-month-old, 55-pound bundle of joy, ready to bring happiness and fun into your home. With her playful, goofy personality, Maddi will make you smile every day. Shes an active girl who loves to play fetch and tug of war, especially with her dog friends, and she's always up for a game or an adventure.
She was adopted as a baby, then returned at 6 months old when she got 'too big.' She spent over 180 days in the shelter, but has been with us (foster home) for a couple months. She was very outgoing but shy in new environments. She has been getting exposed to new things every day and has been doing great. In a new environment she may take an extra second and need patience but then she openly does the activity. If you try to push her instead of giving her a second, she will not cooperate. She is also very treat motivated and if she is ever being silly and not listening, a treat gets her to listen.
Maddi gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her the perfect playmate for your furry companions. Shes also fantastic with children and cats, showing just how sweet and social she is with everyone she meets. Whether shes running around with a ball in her mouth or cuddling up for a nap, Maddi's heart is always full of love. Maddi is house trained and comfortable in a crate. She can be shy when first meeting new people but a tasty treat is sure to win her over immediately! Food is the way to her heart.
Cuddles are Maddis favorite way to wind down after a fun-filled day. She thrives on affection and will happily curl up next to you to soak up all the love. If you're looking for a playful, loving, and well-rounded companion, Maddi could be the perfect match for you. Shes excited to find her forever home, and shes ready to share all her happiness with a family who will love her just as much as she loves them. Could that be you?
