My story

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

Meet Rex! Rex is searching for a new home - no fault of his own.  His current owners are in poor health and looking to move into assisted living. He needs help quickly.  Rex would do best in a home with another dog and/or cat, as he’s used to living with other animals. Young children would be too energetic for Rex, but we think he could do well with older, gentle children. 

 

Rex is 6 yrs old and is guessed to be a Shepard/Husky mix.  Rex is a shy and gentle guy who appreciates having time to warm up to new people and situations.  His sweet nature shines through once he’s comfortable.  Rex is highly food motivated which makes training easier. If you have treats, you are an immediate friend.  He knows “sit”, “paw” and “gentle”.  Rex has mostly been in a fenced area, so will need support and training with his leash walking.   Rex will be neutered prior to going to his new home.

 

Rex has lived a quiet life so still gets a little nervous in unfamiliar environments or with new people.  He's best introduced slowly and given time to adjust at his own speed.  Rex is not aggressive; he is a sensitive boy and is unsure of himself. He’s still figuring out how to navigate the outside world. He can jump when excited, but with the right training, he'll quickly learn to keep all four paws on the ground!

 

Rex is ready to bond with a new family who can support him through his journey of becoming the confident, happy pup we know he can be!

More about this rescue

Our approach to the adoption process is friendly, warm & understanding. We care about our dogs and we are thankful for our applicants.

We strive to be the breath of fresh air, the rebels who rock the boat. A rescue with a heart and soul dedicated to placing homeless dogs in loving homes.

We work with local businesses to secure discounted prices for our adopters on dog related services such as grooming, training, boarding & daycare. Our volunteers create the handmade beds we send home with each dog and we provide useful resources in our Adoption Kits.

VT Dog Rescue saves dogs of all breeds at all ages from puppies to seniors. We can help you find the perfect dog for your life and provide lifetime support for that dog. We look forward to hearing from you.
