Rue

My story

This dog will arrive to Grimsby, ON on October 24 *Apply to Adopt (Foster to Adopt) at rebeldogrescue.com*Rhu is a sweet, sensitive girl who takes a little time to decide that someone is her friend — but once she does, she is an absolute lovebug and she will become your shadow. She can be shy and cautious when meeting new people and would much rather have someone give her the time and space to decompress, sniff, and approach on her own terms.Once Rhu feels comfortable, her playful and affectionate personality really starts to shine. She loves spending time with other dogs, especially those around her size, and enjoys getting out for walks and adventures. She is also doing wonderfully in the home and arrived already house trained.Rhu is looking for a calm, patient family who understands that trust is built gradually. She would do best with older children 12+ and a fenced yard where she can safely explore and relax. She does not need another dog in the home, but would happily have a canine friend.Rhu may not be the dog who runs up to greet you on day one, but give her the time she needs and you’ll discover a sweet, loyal girl who has so much love to give.Name: RhuBreed: Dachshund/Lab MixSex: Female, spayed Age: ~4 yearsWeight: ~25lbGood with women: Yes, initially shy but warms up quickly with a slow introductionGood with men: Yes, initially shy but warms up quickly with a slow introductionGood with children: No young children; a home with children 12+ is recommended, quick movements can scare herGood with dogs: Yes!
