Bear's Story

Meet Bear – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for Adventure and Affection<br/><br/>Bear is the kind of dog who greets life head-on—with a wagging tail, an eager heart, and just enough puppy-like charm to keep you smiling every single day. A young Pit Bull mix with energy to spare and love in abundance, Bear is ready to find a forever home that matches his zest for life.<br/><br/>Think of him like a teenager in dog years—curious, playful, and learning fast. He’s already mastered the basics like sit, lie down, and shake, and he’s fully potty trained. Whether you’re off to work or running errands, Bear waits patiently, knowing his people always come back. And when they do? He’s ready to snuggle, nap by your side, or roll over for a belly rub—especially if you let him crawl into bed for some extra cuddles.<br/><br/>Bear thrives on activity. He’s happiest on a hike, during a long walk, or chasing his favorite toy in the backyard. A securely fenced yard would be his dream come true, but he’s smart and willing to learn with structure and support if your setup is different.<br/><br/>Social and sweet, Bear has shown real promise with other dogs—he’d love a pup sibling, doggy playdates, or daycare buddies to burn off steam and build confidence. As for cats, he’s curious, but that relationship is still developing and would need supervision and patience.<br/><br/>At his core, Bear is looking for what every dog wants: a home that sees his heart, embraces his playful spirit, and gives him the kind of consistency and care that allows him to be his very best self. He’s equal parts protector and snuggle bug, a joyful mix of adventure and affection.<br/><br/>Could Bear be your perfect match?<br/><br/><br/>Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.<br/><br/>APPLY on our WEBSITE:<br/>Rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt<br/>Rebeldogsdetroit.com/becomeafoster

Rebel Dogs Detroit's Adoption Policy
We want to help you find your best friend! Rebel Dogs Detroit is committed to making dog adoption more accessible and attractive to the Detroit community. Our adoption fee for adult dogs is $275-$325, and $325-$400 for puppies. That said, we do have a sliding scale adoption fee for those below the poverty line who are interested in adopting an adult pitbull mix. We ask you apply for the dog/puppy on our website first and foremost. Once we receive your application, we will contact you with questions and/or set up a time to interview you. The next step is a meeting between you and the dog. If that goes well, and you wish to follow through with the adoption, you can do so at that point. Our commitment to you and your new companion doesn't end with the adoption. If you ever need help in the future to keep your dog healthy and happy, you can always reach out. We will do everything in our power to help you and your pooch! We appreciate you opening up your home and your hearts, and know that it is a large, long-term responsibility. We ask you to not take it lightly, and promise that we won't either!
