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.

Courage is the sweetest, most timid guy you'll ever meet. His name is SO appropriate because he needs tons of courage to truly break out of his shell. However, he's equipped with the sweetest disposition, loves head scratches and will follow you everywhere.

From foster: Courage is a fantastic little guy! He's still learning how to 'dog' or play with toys but we're slowing building his confidence.

e's almost completely housetrained and does not have accidents in his crate when left alone or in the house during the day. He is leash trained as we've taken him for several walks around the neighborhood with our pack. He knows 'stay' and 'sit' but is not very treat motivated so a 'good boy' is enough to let him know he's doing great. He's happiest by your side, cuddling on the sofa, or out on a walk.

He has a nice medium energy level and fits in well with our senior pups. He would be a great addition to any family that wants a low maintenance, yet affectionate love bug, who likes to go for walks or just settle in for some TV time with other animals in the house. He likes to give nose bops on the back of your calves to let you know he's there and we're working on him not jumping up when we get home.

Overall, he's the sweetest angel who'd be a best friend to anyone who makes him feel loved!

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!
