Rowdy

My story

Arriving February 7, this dog will be fostered in the Niagara RegionApply 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.This sweet, gentle boy is a mediumlow energy pup who thrives in a calm, relaxed environment. He can be shy when meeting new people, especially men, and may approach cautiously with his tail tucked, but with patience and kindness he warms up and builds trust. He is friendly with women, does well with children, and happily co-exists with other laid-back, easygoing dogs. He greets new canine friends politely and takes his cues from them. He settles quietly in a crate, is doing well with house training, and shows no signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety. While he hasnt been tested with cats and is still gaining confidence on leash, he is eager to learn and improve. Fearful of loud noises, he will benefit from gentle confidence-building and a peaceful home where he can feel safe, included in daily activities, and continue blossoming into the loving companion hes meant to be.Adoption fee: $550Name: RowdyBreed: Jack Russell Terrier mix Age: ~9 years Weight: ~18lbSex: Male, neuteredMedical: Received dental cleaning, skin scrape negative Good with men: Yes - shy/scared, but warms upGood with women: Yes - friendlyGood with kids 0-6: Yes, but has not lived with small childrenGood with kids 7-15: Yes, but has not lived with childrenHow does the dog typically act when meeting new people?
