My story

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

Meet Rex

4 year old Rex is looking for his forever home. He is a very special boy, very happy and sweet.
He greets people with a happy face and plenty of tail wags. He is friendly and eager to please. Rex loves getting love and attention. He especially loves back rubs

He is learning every day and progressing in his training. He's been through a lot so will need a patient adopter who will love him unconditionally. He needs a lot of enrichment.

He loves going for walks. He loves playing with squeaky toys. He doesn't like Kongs or toys that make him work for treats.

He gets along with other dogs and plays well with them. He doesn't like to share toys but he is working on it. He lives with cats but needs slow introductions. Once he is used to them, he will keep his distance.

He has a BB gun pellet on his left front paw and it bows down when he walks but it doesn't slow him down. If he's tired or wants to stop, he will let you know. He also lets other dogs know what he permits or not when playing to protect his paw.

Rex thrives on a routine and exercise. When not exercising, he loves to sit on the couch with his people and his toys.

He is very curious and loves exploring and sniffing. He has good manners and walks well on a leash. He is smart, knows how to sit and takes treats gently.

He is house trained but prefers to do his potties on walks instead of the back yard. He is a bit clumsy because of his leg so sometimes he'll need help getting in the car or in a bed.

He does well in boarding, day care and the vet but is not a fan of the bath.

Additional adoption info

Adoption process:
Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved.

From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption.

Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future no preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption.
