Help Rex Find His Family

Meet Rex, a handsome 4yr old, 22-pound Terrier Mix who is looking for a fresh start and a family to call his own.

Rex was surrendered to the shelter through no fault of his own when his previous owner was no longer able to care for him.

Rex has already shown us what a sweet and gentle soul he is. He can be a little shy and unsure when faced with new people, places, and experiences, but with patience and kindness, his true personality begins to shine. Rex is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can take things at his own pace and learn that the world can be a safe place.

Rex is reported to do well with children and other dogs. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As with any new pet, slow and proper introductions to resident pets and family members are recommended to help set everyone up for success.

He is also currently learning the basics of house training. With consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement, we believe Rex will continue making great progress.

What Rex needs most is someone willing to give him a chance, who will see beyond his initial shyness and help him build confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion who simply wants a place where he feels safe, secure, and loved.

🏡 Rex is ready to leave shelter life behind and become part of a family once again. Could your rescue or home be the happy ending he’s been waiting for?

Rex is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.
