Meet Valerie: The Lap-Loving, Low-Rider Potato! Introducing Valerie, a 5-year-old, 50lb bundle of love with the cutest 6-inch legs you've ever seen. This delightful "potato" is ready to roll right into your heart and home. Valerie may be low to the ground, but she's high in spirit and full of affection! What Makes Valerie Special? Valerie is the epitome of friendliness, with a heart as big as her personality. She adores both dogs and people, though her manners in asking for affection are as subtle as a sledgehammer—expect this lovebug to plop herself right onto your lap without much invitation! She’s crate trained and mostly potty trained, managing her household duties like the lady she is. Lifestyle and Loves: Though Valerie is low energy, she enjoys her short walks a few times a day—perfect for stretching those adorable legs and sniffing the world around her. She's relatively quiet but isn't shy about telling you when she needs a little extra something, be it a snack or some snuggle time. Toys and playtime with other dogs were once foreign concepts to her, but now she’s an enthusiast, diving into games and toy adventures with giddy abandon. Ideal Home for Valerie: Valerie dreams of a home where she can be the star of the show. A perfect setting would be one where the humans outnumber the dogs, giving her all the attention and belly rubs she desires. She’s a carefree spirit whose ideal day includes lots of love, a few leisurely walks, and endless belly rubs. Why Adopt Valerie? If you’re looking for a carefree companion to light up your life, Valerie is your girl. Her foster calls her a total doll, and it’s easy to see why. With Valerie, you’re not just adopting a pet; you’re bringing home a bundle of joy who will make every day a little brighter. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home and we want our adopters to be prepared for that! Ready to give Valerie the loving audience she deserves? She’s waiting to show you just how much happiness a low-rider potato can bring. APPLY on our WEBSITE: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt Rebeldogsdetroit.com/becomeafoster

Story

Humphrey has a long story to tell, its one of sadness, fame, heartbreak, strength, courage, and hopefully it ends with nothing but love. One fateful day Humphrey shows up on a porch with a super heavy chain around his neck and cautiously invites himself inside, the video of which went semi-viral on Instagram. He is fostered by the home owners and begins to trust them and all people- but horrifically is shot in the face by their neighbor while standing on the sidewalk one day. Traumatized and with a fresh jaw fracture repair surgery he is urgently moved to another foster home for his own protection. In his new foster home he is treated with medical care, patience, time, and most importantly love. Flash forward to today- his physical wounds have healed but he still is healing his emotional scars. Humphrey loves ALL dogs - but is nervous of ALL humans at first. Makes sense, right? Humphrey is now scared of the dark, has a phobia of loud sudden noises and frequently stalls out on the leash. BUT he is potty trained, sweet and attentive once you gain his trust. Humphrey is a great versatile player, and can live with small and big dogs of all temperaments. He likes to be chased and loves to play with dog puzzles. Do you and your dogs want to meet this big squishmallow? Are you willing to be patient and keep working with Humphrey to feel safer in the world while celebrating all of the wonderful traits he already has? If so please consider opening your heart and home to this traumatized boy, we are confident you will learn so much about life and love from the relationship you will build with him. When we work to undo the pain our species inflict on animals, we need to first address OUR expectations. What is fair to expect of traumatized animals? Instead of having high expectations of the dog- is it better to open our hearts and expect to have to learn and grow along with the dog? Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

He enjoys affectionate people who spend a lot of time at home, or like to take him on car rides.

Story

Meet Comet! Here is a bit about him, in his own words… or woofs… -I LOVE toys but not small ones, bones to chew and I get the zoomies all the time. -I’m very loving, I’m learning how to cuddle and love to lay on the couch with a bone. -I think I would like a doggy friend but also could be happy as an only dog. -I’ve been neutered and got a clean bill of health from the vet as well. -I would love someone who would work with me on learning better leash skills and manners training. Comet was a shelter pull at risk of euthanasia due to space and the time he had been there. We were able to get him full vaccinated, neutered, and even allergy tested. He’s been doing great on the specific allergy friendly food he is on. We are thankful we could give him the chance at a forever life by bringing him to our rescue and helping him on his journey to finding a family! If Comet sounds like he could be a match, please fill out an application on our website.

This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Meet the President of the Ittie Bittie Pittie Committee, East TN Chapter - Spring Roll!! 😍 This petite girl was picked up by another one of our other dog’s foster parents (even though they are already completely full at their home) because they couldn’t bear to see her abandoned. We offered to help if they were able to continue to foster, even short term, and they said yes! Spring Roll was producing milk when she was picked up so we believe she recently had puppies but they were nowhere to be found. Witnesses say they saw someone dump her out of a car 😭 How can people be so cruel?!? So far, Spring Roll has been a perfect little lady in her foster home and has done well with the 4 year old human she met as well as 3 other dogs in the foster home. She will be ready to go home after she is spayed. Website: WoofWoofFosters.org

Citrus

Boxer English Bulldog

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Citrus was living alone in an abandoned house with no doors or windows. We trapped her, and she got very upset. Citrus was growling for many many days, and did not allow any handling. She finally came around to trust us, and is now a loving sweetheart. Citrus wants an understanding foster-to-adopt home, who wants to baby her. She is estimated to be 2-4 years old, and a mix between English Bulldog and Boxer. Citrus has a classic cautious and disapproving yet personable English Bulldog personality, and the silly play style of a Boxer. We are looking for a household without children for Citrus. Leashed walks are fine, she does not require a fenced in yard. Citrus has dog friends at the shelter - but incorporating her into a home dynamic with other dogs will take weeks. If you are up for it, we can discuss. We cover all needed vet care. The adoption fee is $275. Please apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt
