Story
Hello! My name is Benito!I`m a super wiggly love muffin, but can be a bit nervous of crowds. I`m excited to continue to experience that new people equal fun things and not scary things. I expect I will be a large boy so prepare for a big dog if you want to adopt me!I am very excited to move into my new home and keep the ball rolling with my socialization. It is very important that I join a family that has the time and patience to dedicate to my socialization and training, and who can handle my energy and excitement. To become a well-rounded, socialized adult, it`s important I have frequent and positive interactions with new people, children, other dogs, visits to the vet clinic and other unfamiliar environments (like friends` homes and pet stores). It`s also important I continue to get practice with handling and grooming so I continue to be comfortable when I am older and go for vet visits, get nail trims and receive brushing and grooming.***If you apply to adopt me, please have a certified positive-reinforcement trainer in mind to sign up for puppy socialization classes, as this will be required prior to adoption.***If you are interested in adopting me, please click the `Adopt Me` button to complete an application.

Story
*This dog is located in the Niagara area*Apply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*Hey yall, Im Otis! One of my hobbies is napping, whether it be on your carpet or in your lap. I weigh 76 lbs, but weighted blankets are a thing these days right!? I love being outdoors but short walks are my thing as I get tired easily. I would like to say that Im a total love bug once I get to know you! Otis has embarked on a board & train program following minor bite incidents so that we could learn more about how we can help Otis succeed and become a well-balanced and confident dog. From Otis' trainer:After working with Otis in our board and train program we have discovered he is not an aggressive dog. Otis is nervous, sensitive and fearful. Mainly to new people and loud noises. He needs an owner who will continue his training. He has learnt place, leash walking, crate training, sit, recall, release command, waiting at thresholds and waiting for food. Otis responds well to a calm, confident leader and is already e-collar and muzzle trained! He needs someone to help with his decision making and continue to use his tools to assist him in that. He is not a high energy dog so the walks and keeping his training up is all he needs. Otis will also need an owner who advocates for him, so that means making sure not to let strangers walk up on him. He is unsure of loud noises and even the vacuum cleaner. We continue to teach Otis how to walk away when he feels nervous instead of becoming defensive. This is another example of advocating for him. His new must be stepping in when he feels nervous and getting him to a place where he feels confident and safe. Otis is looking to put his bite history in the past. We are confident with the right owner he will be successful and make a wonderful companion!Name: Otis Weight: ~76lbsAge ~6.5 yearsGender: MaleBreed: American bulldog mixColour: WhiteMedical: Skin cancer removal on genital area.

Peachy is fostered in St Catharines. 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. Peachy is a 5-month-old mixed-breed pup with a heart full of love. With her soft tan coat and gentle spirit, shes the perfect blend of playful and snuggly. Peachy is a curious explorer who enjoys discovering the world at her own pace, making her an independent little adventurer. Shes not afraid to play with bigger dogs and, after a burst of fun, loves to crash on your lap for a cozy nap. This precious pup will flip her on her back when she is relaxing, and shell happily cozy up in your arms. Peachy has medium puppy energy and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy long walks, sniffing all the exciting scents, and meeting new friends, both human and canine. Shes already shown friendliness toward cats, making her a great fit for multi-pet households.Peachy is still mastering house training (about 50% there) and is getting more comfortable with crate training, settling in after a bit of barking or whining. While shes learning the ropes of leash walks, shes eager to improve with a patient and loving family.This sweet girl would do best in a detached home where she has space to grow and explore. Her playful personality, cuddly nature, and adventurous spirit make her a precious baby whos ready to bring joy and love to her forever family.Name: PeachyBreed: Mixed breedAge: ~5 months Weight: ~32lb and growing Sex: Female Colour: TanMedical: Treated for parasites; no concerns Good with men: YesGood with women: YesGood with kids 0-6: Yes, but has not lived with kidsGood with kids 6+: Yes, but has not lived with kids Good with dogs: Yes, loves being around and playing with other dogs Good with cats: Yes House trained: Working on it - about 50% there Crate trained: Yes, still getting used to it but does well.

She makes us laugh daily and we wouldn't change a thing about her! Diamond's adoption has been donated by an amazing sponsor.

Good with strangers: yes gets overly excited Guarding issues: None that have been seen Behavioural issues: can have separation anxiety in new environments.

Pulls a lot and will try to go after small animals if she sees them. Will need someone that can control/handle her. Walks way better with a martingale. Okay with manipulations: Yes, always willing to please. Notes: Diamond is a very sweet, affectionate girl who is eager to please. She has shown to be food motivated which is a bonus for training. Diamond gets very overstimulated and excited fast. She will jump up and grab at you or the leash but she listens if you are firm with her. Diamond is your perfect companion if your looking for a dog who can keep up with an active lifestyle!

Story
Hanky Panky is our shelter goof ball! Big, Strong, Clumbsy, Highly Active, Playful, Foodie ... these are all terms that fits perfectly for Hank! Hank arrived to our shelter as a stray and so his history is a little unclear. While he has been staying with us we find Hank to be an Adult that hasn`t outgrown his puppy behaviour quite yet! You can often find Hank in the park running around, playing fetch, tug-o-war or simply just seeking some affection. He loves to be by your side and if treats are involved - He`s in! Hank loves to make friends, but is shy at first. He does take a few moments and yummy treats to open him up and taking that step to becoming your best friend. Once he feels safe, you`ll see him bounce off the walls for you to show how much your friendship means to him! Training is a work in progress and will require ongoing work with basic training and manners, as well as socialization. Hank would do best in a home with experienced owners who are comfortable with training a strong boy and an understanding of behavioural cues. He would also do best as the only pet in the home at this time. If you`re ready for our goof Hank please contact Toronto Animal Services - West Shelter at 416-338-6271 to start the adoption process.

Story
Scooby Dooby Doo, Where are you??He`s right here at Toronto Animal Services West Region as a matter of fact!This charming, active and goofy young boy brings all the fun, thrills and excitement of his namesake cartoon character. So be prepared for unexpected adventures around every corner!Mr Scoob LOVES to be around his people; whether it`s going for a nice long walk, engaging in a wrestling match, playing a game of fetch or tug in the park, or having a snooze in front of the TV. He`s gonna be your new best friend!A typical Bully-breed dog through and through, Scoob thinks nothing of leaping up into your lap and smothering you with sloppy kisses. His enthusiasm and zest for life is evident in the way he eagerly drags us out to the park every time we walk, and how he jumps up to greet everyone he encounters.Family`s with young children may find him a bit too boisterous. Though he has not met a doggie playmate here at the shelter, we feel a nice careful introduction to other well-mannered dogs may result in an excellent play session. When it comes to cats - we have no idea how that may pan out.Scoob is a little on the lean side, and could benefit from putting on a couple pounds. Scoob was recently neutered and is still recovering. He is currently wearing a satellite dish (much to his displeasure) to speed up recovery time!For more information on Scoob`s quirks and charms, and to learn about our adoption process, please contact our West Region shelter at 416-338-PAWS (7297). We are open from 10:30AM to 6:30PM!

Story
Edison is a special pup looking for his forever home! What makes Edison special? For starters, Edison is deaf! Being deaf doesn't slow Edison down though, really it just makes him a bit more oblivious to external stimulus, and helps him sleep in longer. Edison also has separation anxiety- he is a real lover who prefers to be near his people at all all times. When he can't see his people, Edison is frantic and tries to get back to them, whether that means digging in a crate, barking, or frantically running around the house trying to find them. He would prefer a forever home where someone is always home, or if he could go to work with his people! Edison is a very calm, affectionate and gentle boy. He is lower energy and really just cares about snuggling with his people, or near his people. He is good in the car, but wants his head on the drivers lap to keep them company, and tries to climb on people's laps on the couch. When given boundaries, Edison can nap at his persons feet (preferably on a very soft dog bed!) so that they can work in peace. New environments or new people? No problem! Edison just cares that he's around his people. If given a soft dog bed, Edison knows that's a good place to curl up for a nap. Edison loves all people! He is gentle and happy to greet everyone, and will try to climb into their laps if he can help it. He is such a sweet soul, he will slip right into anyone's heart immediately! Edison is very playful with other dogs. He is very friendly and initially passive, but can get playful in a typical boxer fashion by pawing at them and jumping around them. Edison is still intact, his neuter appointment is in January, so he can rub some dogs the wrong way, but his intentions are innocent and playful. Edison has a prey drive for small animals and is not good with cats. Edison came to us very underweight and is very food motivated. He is gentle taking food from hands, and will do anything for food! He is still young and it seems has not had much training or structure before, so he will need some direction in his forever home to not investigate food on counters, or get into things he isn't supposed to on his level. Edison walks well on leash and doesn't pull at all on a flat collar. He is happy to follow his people and go on whatever adventure or direction they would like to go. Aside from his separation anxiety issues, he is truly a sweet little joy that is guaranteed to make anyone who meets him fall in love with him! Due to his separation anxiety, Edison is looking for a forever home in a detached house, as he can be vocal when he can't see his people. He needs someone who is home the majority of the time, can take him to work with him, or has the time to do a proper separation anxiety protocol to help him be comfortable home alone. While he does like other dogs, unfortunately they aren't quite enough comfort for him to be home alone with them. Edison is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has his neuter and 4DX snap test in January. Please send adoption inquiries to molsonsfosterfriends@gmail.com.
