REBEL Dog Rescue

🐾 Meet Missy 🐾Fostered in Hamilton, ON

✨ Tiny girl. Gentle soul. Professional sofa supervisor. ✨

Missy is a sweet little Chi x Jack Russell mix with the softest eyes and the most lovable personality once she feels safe. At 4–5 years old and only 12 pounds, this slender little lady is learning that life can still be beautiful after losing the person she loved most.

She may be shy when meeting new people, but patience and kindness are the key to her heart. Give her a little time, and suddenly you’ll have a shadow following you around, curling up beside you for snuggles, and showing off her adorable goofy side with happy little dances that will absolutely melt you. 💕

Missy loves peaceful days watching the world go by from the back of the sofa, cozy naps, gentle affection, and being close to her people. Her energy level is low-medium, making her the perfect companion for someone looking for a calm but loving best friend.

She’s currently learning confidence on walks and is doing wonderfully. She walks nicely and is working hard on not pulling. She also sleeps beautifully in her crate at night like the good girl she is. 🌙✨

Missy gets along very well with other dogs and would likely thrive with a calm, confident canine buddy to help show her the ropes — though it’s not required. She may also do well with dog-savvy cats with proper introductions.

Because Missy can be nervous in overwhelming situations, she’s looking for a quieter home with older respectful children (12+). What she needs most is someone patient, gentle, and understanding — someone who will help her continue building confidence and feeling safe.

And once she trusts you? You’ll have her whole heart forever. ❤️

Cora is a beautiful 2-year-old golden retriever with the sweetest soul and the happiest heart. Cora is affectionate, gentle, and absolutely loves being around people — whether she’s soaking up cuddles, following you around the house, or playing outside. She has that classic golden retriever personality: loving, loyal, friendly, and eager to please. Cora gets excited for walks, enjoys attention, and brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. This beautiful girl is equal parts cuddle bug and fetch enthusiast. If you’re looking for a best friend who’s always ready for snuggle sessions on the couch and happy to join in on outdoor adventures, Cora is your girl.

Cora absolutely loves everyone she meets and wins hearts instantly with her sweet personality and eager-to-please attitude. She’s also wonderful with other dogs and cats, making her an easy fit for a home with furry friends already in the family.

She’s smart, affectionate, and always happy to be part of the action — whether that’s learning new things, soaking up attention, or spending time with her people. Cora is currently working on her leash skills and is doing great. A home with a yard would be perfect for her playful energy and love of the outdoors.

Beautiful, loving, playful, and smart… honestly, Cora is quite the package!
