🐾 Meet Missy 🐾Fostered in Hamilton, ON

✨ Tiny girl. Gentle soul. Professional sofa supervisor. ✨

Missy is a sweet little Chi x Jack Russell mix with the softest eyes and the most lovable personality once she feels safe. At 4–5 years old and only 12 pounds, this slender little lady is learning that life can still be beautiful after losing the person she loved most.

She may be shy when meeting new people, but patience and kindness are the key to her heart. Give her a little time, and suddenly you’ll have a shadow following you around, curling up beside you for snuggles, and showing off her adorable goofy side with happy little dances that will absolutely melt you. 💕

Missy loves peaceful days watching the world go by from the back of the sofa, cozy naps, gentle affection, and being close to her people. Her energy level is low-medium, making her the perfect companion for someone looking for a calm but loving best friend.

She’s currently learning confidence on walks and is doing wonderfully. She walks nicely and is working hard on not pulling. She also sleeps beautifully in her crate at night like the good girl she is. 🌙✨

Missy gets along very well with other dogs and would likely thrive with a calm, confident canine buddy to help show her the ropes — though it’s not required. She may also do well with dog-savvy cats with proper introductions.

Because Missy can be nervous in overwhelming situations, she’s looking for a quieter home with older respectful children (12+). What she needs most is someone patient, gentle, and understanding — someone who will help her continue building confidence and feeling safe.

And once she trusts you? You’ll have her whole heart forever. ❤️

🆘 FOSTER NEEDED 🆘

Hiiii my name is Wally! I love playing I love romping I love having friends I love for humans and dogs to chase me. My current foster is moving and I am headed back to the shelter (which is the one thing I don't love 💔).

I’m a cattle dog mix, but I’ve never actually met cattle. Not even one cow. I make sure to look every time but they just don’t seem to go to dog parks.

I’m about one year old and a perfectly sized not too big not too small 30lbs.
I’m neutered, have all of my vaccinations and am heartworm negative. I’m very healthy and very smart and I listen to instructions. I’m also potty trained and haven’t had one single accident inside. And guess what?? I’m learning how to ring a bell by the door when I need to go potty! My go to method is to give you a little nudge but how much more fun is ringing a bell?! (Exactly.)

Would you consider filling that currently empty Wally sized space in your heart with me? (Since that’s my name it would be a guaranteed perfect fit.)

Sending this message out into the world with great hope and love, Wally

Cora is a beautiful 2-year-old golden retriever with the sweetest soul and the happiest heart. Cora is affectionate, gentle, and absolutely loves being around people — whether she’s soaking up cuddles, following you around the house, or playing outside. She has that classic golden retriever personality: loving, loyal, friendly, and eager to please. Cora gets excited for walks, enjoys attention, and brings warmth and joy wherever she goes.

✨🛁 NEW ARRIVAL: Welcome to Rebel Dog Rescue, Missy 🛁✨

Nothing says “my old life is behind me” quite like a fresh bath, warm towels, and the start of a brand new chapter. 💛

And sweet little Missy? She is SO ready for her happily ever after.

After losing her beloved human dad, she’s still learning that the world can be safe again — but once she trusts you, her adorable goofy side starts to shine.

She’s looking for a calm, patient home that will let her settle in at her own pace. Missy loves other dogs and people. She would do best with older kids who understand shy dogs.

All she really wants is someone to love her gently and remind her she’s safe. In return, she’ll give you her whole heart. 💕
