My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*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.

Hobo Charlie is a fun-loving 1.5-year-old terrier mix, weighing about 50 pounds. Charlie is ready to start a new chapter in life. Rescued from the streets, this smart and adaptable boy has adjusted well to life off the streets, quickly picking up on routines and loving the attention that he gets in his foster home. He loves his toys and enjoys a good play session but also knows how to relax and take it easy.

Charlie is good with men, women, and kids, though he may be a bit shy at first and warms up with a little time. He gets along well with other dogs but is best to eat in his kennel to avoid any food guarding. He enters his crate with a little coaxing and settles after some initial barking/whining. Charlie is working on perfecting his house manners and his foster would say that he is about 90% there. This scruffy pup has done quite well on a leash considering he was a stray, and he adores attention and affection. Charlie would be a fantastic companion for an active family or individual who can give him plenty of love and playtime and some ongoing training.

Additional adoption info

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue is looking for committed adopters, ready to bring a rescue dog into their life. In order to ensure that we find the best homes for our dogs, adoption applicants must go through an adoption approval process. We receive a number of applications for each dog and only one will be chosen as the successful candidate. Candidates are selected based on the dog's needs. Not being selected for the dog that you applied for does not disqualify you from adopting from us in the future.

Go meet their pets

We do our very best to place our dogs into adoptive homes before they arrive into Canada. This ensures that they have a safe and loving place to go after their long journey up North. All dogs adopted through R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue will receive a 15 day adoption probation period. This period starts the day the dog enters the care of the adopter. This means that the adoptive family has 15 days to determine that dog is a good fit for them. Although it may feel scary to not meet the dog before adopting, the 15 day period allows you to get to know the dog within your home. If you buy a dog off of Kijiji or at a local shelter you may be given a couple hours to meet the dog. We believe that our program's 15 day probation provides much more insight into how he or she will fit into your home, rather than. a brief meet and greet.

More about this rescue

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue was founded in 2020 by a small group of young women with one thing is common: a love for dogs. Since establishment, RDR has successfully found forever homed for over 700 dogs. Our mission is to rescue dogs in dire situations and give them a second chance at life through education and empowerment. All of our dogs come the streets and shelters across Texas, where they are experiencing a dog overpopulation crisis. Our team has travelled to the State to see first-hand how we can help and make a difference in the lives of animals.
R.E.B.E.L stands for: rescue, educate, believe, empower and love dogs. We live by these words every day and encourage the dog-loving community to follow suit!
