Adoption Guidelines

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 Dog Adoption Process

When you contact us with interest in a dog, we will set up a time to interview you.

For puppies, if you are accepted through the process, you will be invited to come to an adoption event with your family and any other dogs in the household.

The next step for adopting an adult dog is a meeting between you and the dog, along with any other pets you have in your home. During the meeting we will focus on talking you through how to help the dog acclimate and adjust to home life with you. We will also walk through behavior modifications that are relevant to you and the particular dog. Everyone's different!

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 the 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.

Cost of Adoption

Our adoption fee for adult dogs is $275, and $325 for puppies. That said, we do have a sliding scale adoption fee for those below the poverty line. Our sliding scale program ONLY applies to bully breed dogs above the age of 1. If you qualify for the program, we ask that you to pay what you are able. Keep in mind all the dogs vaccines, spay/neutering, and vet care up to that point are included in the adoption, so please contribute if you can. For further info on this program, please contact us.
