Adopt Rex

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Rex came to the refugee after living with a group of homeless people who could no longer care for him. They loved him and wanted something better, a safe, stable home where he could destroy. Having lived most of his life on the streets, Rex is now learning what it means to be part of a structured environment. He's a large, handsome boy with a big personality and an even big heart. Rex is very sociable with people and loves human interaction, though he can get a bit overexcited and jump up something we're actively working on with him. He's currently undergoing training with the help of a professional dog trainer to help him agree to a life of routine, rules, and company. While he wasn't well socialized with other dogs as a Puppy, he's making fantastic progress. Rex is smart, eager to learn, and responds well to consistent guidance. We're not yet sure how Rex is with children, so a home with adults or older students may be most suitable while he continues his training. He's also still adjusting to life in the kennel, which is very different from the freedom he's known. Outside the kennel, he transform. Give him space and time outdoors, and you'll see his playful, loving nature shine through. Rex needs an experienced, patient adopt who's willing to continue his training and support his transition into a more structured life. A home without small children and with space for him to stretch his legs would be ideal. In return, you'll have a loyal, intelligent company who's learning how to love and be loved in return. Rex didn't have the easier start but with the right person, he has a bright future. Come meet him and see the progress he's already made.
