Rebel has lived a full life, and now he’s quietly hoping for something simple and precious: a safe lap, a soft bed, and a human who won’t let him be forgotten. This senior sweetheart spends most of his days snoozing peacefully in his cozy playpen, where he feels secure and comforted. He also enjoys his time in the sunshine or on your lap whichever is warmer! Rebel will pace around the door when he needs to go out. Keeping him on a schedule has helped avoid accidents. A reminder f how hard he tries to do everything right, even at his age.
Life has recently changed for Rebel in the most heartbreaking way. His beloved owner passed away, and Rebel has been grieving in his own quiet, gentle way. It’s clear he was cherished deeply, and he’s still searching for that sense of love and safety.
He’s learning to walk with a harness and isn’t quite confident yet, so a fenced yard would make his world feel less scary. He’s okay with small female dogs, prefers to avoid pushy males and is learning to play with a 90lb submissive male Dane/Hound mix. Children and cats are unknowns, and he’d be happiest in a calm, patient home — ideally with someone home most of the time or a senior who wants a soothing companion.
Rebel isn’t demanding. He’s low-energy, soft-hearted, and easy to love. Mostly quiet, he saves his voice only to ask for something he needs. He adores snuggling, being gently doted on, and settling into a plush bed with someone close by. He is very bonded with Bear who came from the same home. They love to play and wrestle and sometimes get snippy with each other (usually over a toy or a lap) but at the end of the day they snuggle up together.
Rebel and Bear need an angel — someone who sees the beauty in an older dogs who just wants to belong again.
