Rebel's Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:6This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Rebel is a 5-year-old, 9-pound Papillon mix who can be a very lovable, cuddly little dog with people he trusts. He enjoys petting and belly rubs on his terms and likes being close to his person. He can be dog selective, but has done well in playgroups with several dogs at the shelter. Rebel has a history of biting when frightened or uncomfortable with handling, especially during leashing and grooming. He needs an adult-only home with an experienced adopter who will respect his boundaries and take his bite history seriously. His long coat requires regular grooming, which is challenging for him. His adopter will need patience and perseverance to establish a safe grooming routine. Rebel has some difficult behaviors, but also a lot of affection to offer the person willing to understand him. Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet him.
