My story

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

Meet Rexo, a sweet yet cautious senior shepherd looking for a safe place to call home. Though he came into us a bit unsure, Rexo quickly shows his friendly side, especially when he get some head rubs and ear scratches! He's starting to warm up to people he trusts, especially if they let him come to them first. Rexo already knows "sit and takes treats, though he's still figuring out how to be a bit gentler when grabbing them. While he's not interested in toys or play right now, he's a thoughtful, curious pup just waiting for a cozy spot where he can relax and feel secure.

Rexo is ready to find his forever family who will give him the love and patience he deserves!

Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet Rexo at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
