Rex, born 27/03/2021 is a Lurcher, we think greyhound crossed with a bull breed. Rex was very nervous when he arrived with us in February 2024 and it's taken a few weeks to gain his trust. Now he feels safe he's much happier and loves a fuss from people he knows well. He is very sensitive about his feet and doesn't like them being touched (he had extremely long claws when he arrived which must have been sore ). He had to be sedated to have them cut at the vets. We are working on getting him used to gradually allowing us to touch his legs then feet but unfortunately he still doesn't like it. He panics very badly about anything to do with the vets, so we have to give him sedatives before seeing a vet and he wears his muzzle. He happy to have his muzzle put on in exchange for a tasty treat. He a beautiful boy who loves to run in our enclosed compound, he doesn't have any recall so can't go off lead anywhere that's not secure. He is fairly good on his lead if it's quiet but does get over excited and giddy, and pully if there is anything to make him excited for example another dog or person he doesn't know. His absolute favourite thing is to play ball.He won't allow you to tale a ball from him but we have taught him to bring the ball back and drop for another ball to be thrown and this works well. He loves his food and has gained some weight now, as he was very thin when he arrived, he needs to stick to grain free dry food as this suits his tummy better. He needs a home with a large secure garden, no cats or small animals due to his instinct to chase and adults only because he doesn't like children. He would benefit from a very experienced owner with time patience and understanding. Please note we will not home him where there are children or other animals he would need to be in contact with.
