*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. Paulie is a sweet and affectionate 3.5-year-old Maltese mix whos ready to find his forever home. This 12-pound bundle of love had a rough start after being surrendered when his family moved, but he has blossomed into a warm, outgoing, and happy boy. Hes great with both men and women and does well with older kids who understand his need for gentle handlingquick or sudden movements from behind can startle him, but hes never shown aggression.Paulie is a social pup who enjoys the company of other dogs, big and small, and has even lived harmoniously with cats in the past. He sleeps and eats peacefully with other dogs in a playpen, never tries to escape, and keeps his space clean. When its time to head outside, Paulie is the first out the door to do his business and one of the first back in. His house training is about 90%, and he has done well with crate training. On walks, he does wonderfully using a harness (with safety clips) and is eager to stay by your side. He has a medium energy level, making him a great companion for both playtime and cuddles on the couch. He has shown no signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety.Paulie is looking for a loving home where he can feel secure and adored.

🐶 Quick Facts 🐾 • Name: Sasha • Age: 6 years old • Gender: Female • Neutered/Sprayed: Yes • Breed: Maltese Mix • Color: White • Weight: 3kg 🐕All About Me🐕 Hi there! I’m Sasha, a petite and loving six-year-old Maltese mix. With my delicate frame of just 3 kg (6.6 lbs) and a soft, snowy white coat, I’m as charming as they come. I’m on the lookout for a forever home where I can be the center of attention and shower my family with all the love and affection I have to give. 🐶Personality🐶 I’m a classic Maltese mix—sweet, affectionate, and brimming with charm. I adore people and won’t hesitate to snuggle up, whether you’re a familiar face or someone new. Pick me up for a cuddle, and I’ll happily oblige. I’m also wonderfully gentle and soft-spoken. While I may occasionally "talk," my voice is on the quieter side (perhaps due to a past vocal surgery). While I’ve never met children under 13, my gentle nature suggests I could adapt well with patient introductions. 🐶My Social Side❤️ I thrive on human attention and love being the focus of my family’s world. While I adore people, I’m less enthusiastic about other pets. I like to think of myself as a one-and-only pup, preferring to have my humans all to myself. My protective streak means I might try to assert myself with other pets, so I’m happiest as the sole furry family member. With this in mind, I’d do best in a home where I can be spoiled and loved as the only pet. My love for people knows no bounds—I’ll greet you with joy and shower you with affection at every opportunity! 🔋My Energy Level & Walks🚶 I have a moderate energy level, so I enjoy light playtime and a bit of outdoor exploration. Afterward, I’m more than happy to settle down and relax by your side, making me a great match for a cozy home environment. I’m not particularly fond of car rides, so I’ll need a little reassurance (and maybe a helping hand) to get in and out. Once we’re on the road, I’ll settle in as long as you’re nearby. While I’m playful and love to explore during walks, I won’t tug too hard on the leash, making our outings peaceful and enjoyable. 🏠My Behavior at Home🏠 I’m good with both indoor potty pads and outdoor routines, so I can adjust to your preferences. I’m also respectful with food—I don’t guard my meals from people or other pets. When I want something, I’ll politely let you know with gentle "requests," never causing a fuss. At home, I’ll be your shadow, following you around and basking in your company. While I can be independent when needed, I prefer to stick close to my humans and enjoy their presence. 💌Why I’m Looking for You💌 I’m a tender-hearted dog with a little bit of a sensitive side. While I’m brave and loving with people, I’d do best in a home where I don’t have to compete with other pets for attention. I’d flourish in a calm, loving environment where I can be doted on and spoiled like the princess I am. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will bring joy and devotion to your life, I might be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to be part of your family! 📺 Videos📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T_QGfh_kTE&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzOpoz9rXDbw0qh555qpmTO
