My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Rex. He has been at the shelter now for over a year! When Rex came in he really needed to work on basic obedience skills, he has made so much progress over this past year and has become a kennel staff favorite. He already knows sit, down, give paw, and is working on “stay”.
Rex has lots of love to give, and he can't wait for someone to find him. Rex is a big, handsome, sweet, energetic, and athletic youngster who just loves life! When he plays, Rex’s choice game is tug of war! Which, he is pretty sure he’s the champion of!
This bouncy guy will flourish with an experienced owner/trainer who can give him structure. He'd love to continue working on his training with you. Rex is a smart boy who enjoys learning and loves to please, especially when treats are involved.
Rex can join a family with children 16+ who have experience with big goofy dogs. Due to his size and energy level, Rex would do best as the only pet in the home. This giant cuddle bug is going to make a wonderful addition to the right family. Rex is looking for a family to adopt! Could it be you?
*Rex has been awarded a Handsome Dan's Take My Lead Grant which provides FREE private training up to $500, and supplies.

Additional adoption info

Matchmaking is what we love to do. We do our very best to find the best fit for the pets awaiting adoption at the Rhode Island SPCA. The first step to adopting a dog from the Rhode Island SPCA is filling out an adoption application. If your application is selected, you will be contacted and asked if you would like to schedule a meet & greet. Because of the volume of applications we receive, sometimes we can only respond to the selected applicant. You are always welcome to contact us anytime about the status of your application at adoption@rispca.com.
