Queso

My story

*Fostered in the Niagara region*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. Meet Queso! Once a stray, he now enjoys all the comforts of being an adored pup in his foster home. He likes to be close to people, would be great as a travel dog or ride along friend. Queso would enjoy a dog friend to be cuddle and play friends with, but its not required. He would do well with a family or single person - with or without children who are over 8 and respectful/understanding of a nervous small dog who can 'get under your feet'.Queso is very food motivated and will go so far as to drink your morning coffee if you leave it unattended. He doesn't seek out affection but is working hard to trust people and learn 'how to dog' from his furry foster friends. He has learned a lot in his foster home and we believe he will successfully adjust in almost any environment with a little patience... and lots of blankets!Name: QuesoBreed: Mixed Breed - Rat Terrier Mix Age: ~3 yearWeight: ~14lbSex: Male, neutered Colour: Tri-colourMedical: Antibiotics for infected neuter incision Good with men: Yes, friendly Good with women: Yes, friendlyGood with kids 0-6: Unknown, not tested - suggest 8+ Good with kids 7-15: Yes, has lived with children and does wellWhen the dog meets new people heApproaches happily, Wants affectionGood with dogs: YesHow does this dog react to meeting new dogs?
