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.

Mamacita is a gentle soul. After coming into the shelter as a pregnant stray, she is now ready for her happily-ever-after!

Mamacita enjoys leisurely walks, cozy couch cuddles, and car rides. Shes incredibly adaptable, having done wonderfully in her busy foster home with multiple children (including little ones), cats, and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While she has adapted to the hustle and bustle, Mamacita would also thrive in a quieter home where she can soak up plenty of one-on-one attention.

This lovely lady is almost fully house-trained and working on her crate training. Shes polite on the leash, rarely barks, and is the perfect balance of independent and affectionate. While shes not overly playful, shes happy to coexist with other pets and may even bond with a canine friend in time.

Mamacita is a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly with gentle patience and affection. Once she knows you, shes all about tail wags and snuggles!

If youre looking for a loyal and loving companion to share your days, Mamacita is your girl. Shes ready to start her new chapter with someone wholl appreciate her calm, sweet nature and give her the love she deserves.

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!
