Josephine

My story

*This dog is scheduled to arrive in Grimsby, Ontario on Saturday, June 28*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. Josephine is 7lb Yorkie mix and approximately 7 years old. She is very nervous at first and needs time to warm up and trust peoples. Once she is comfortable she is so sweet and likes to be held. She must be picked up slowly then hugged to show her she is safe. She is not super comfortable on a leash and could use more support with that. She needs a patient home who will work with her to build confidence as she adjusts. She would be best in a home with no kids as she gets scared and will nip if she is grabbed at too quickly. She does well with other dogs and has not been tested with cats but would likely do well with proper introductions. *She is getting groomedAdoption fee: $850Good with men: Yes, but shy and warms up quicklyGood with women: Yes, but shy and warms up quicklyGood with kids 0-6: No, due to being scared and size Good with kids 7-15: No, due to being scared and size When the dog meets new people s/he...Select all that apply: Approaches cautiously, Approaches in a neutral mannerGood with dogs: Yes, happy to co-exist with other dogsHow does this dog react to meeting new dogs?
