Newtron

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. Newtron is a fun-loving young pup! He is well mannered in the kennel considering his age, is easy to leash, walks like a champ, takes directions well, and has been friendly with everyone hes met. Hes a funny 'Shmedium', small medium sized stout guy - with lots of loving energy to give. Newtron has had good interactions off leash with other dogs and has a good give and take' play style. Hes able to take a hint when the other dog doesnt want to play at his speed - but is happy to oblige another dog who wants to play at a higher speed. Newtron would thrive in most any living environments - but does need some work on not jumping up to you to say 'hi!'. Name: NewtronBreed: Mixed breed, Bulldog Shepherd?

He was swatted and hissed at / showed a healthy and respectful fear of the cats / and did not react to them being thereafter. He would need slow and proper intros.

None, this dog would be fine in any environmentAny noted separation anxiety? As Newtron adjusts to his foster home he is showing signs of separation anxiety. Foster family is working on it. Barker: Average What would be the ideal home for this dog?Newtron would love to live in a home that would offer him a moderately active lifestyle with plenty of play time - and plenty of couch time. He could do well in a house or an apartment as long as they are willing to go on plenty of walks. Newtron would love to live in a home with another outgoing and active dog - but does temper his play style to the other dog.
