Nacho

My story

*Fostered in Hamilton*Apply at rebeldogrescue.com*APPLY TO FOSTER TO ADOPTMeet Nacho — a bundle of blanket-loving, cuddle-seeking sweetness! This girl adapted quickly to her new environment, and started leaning into every pet she can get. She’s housetrained, crate trained, and walks well on leash. She’s a little nervous at first, but give her a minute and she’ll be tucked under a blanket next to you like she’s been sleeping there the whole time. Nacho is looking for a calm, patient home where she can keep building her confidence — and where she’ll definitely steal the comfiest spot in the house. Her small size and easygoing nature mean she could likely adapt to a variety of lifestyles with some patience while she decompresses and builds confidence.
