Meet Rex!
Hello there, my name is Rex.
Although I am 2 years of age I would say I'm more like a big puppy dog, as prior to coming in to the centre I hadn't been outside of my home or garden, and even though I was loved very much I hadn't seen anything of the big wide world.
So my friends here at the centre are now helping me to experience what life has to offer and I am loving it!! They say I am doing fantastically well and are so impressed with my progress in such a short space of time - I love hearing that I am a "Good Boy".
I am loving my walks where I can sniff and explore as everything is just so new and exciting for me. I will need to work on my lead walking as can get a bit pully especially if I see another dog, but that's only to be expected seeing as I have never worn a collar, harness or lead before, I do have times of walking beautifully which the staff have been so happy with.
I am a bit more confident around female handlers but it wont take long for me to be anybody's best friend - as I am just the friendliest, most soppy big dog you will meet. In fact, I think I was meant to be a small lap dog as I love trying to sit on you or at least rest my paws on you at all times, so prepare to be loved lots by me!
When I am off lead I tend to stay close by to my handler, and I'm not really sure on how to play just yet, but I will get there. Fuss and attention are my favourite things, more so than food actually, so I won't really suit a home where I will have to be left for very long periods.
I haven't lived with children before but perhaps older children who wont be worried by my size and tendency to jump up would be okay for me, sorry I'm not suitable for cats, and other dogs would have to be assessed on a case by case basis.
I am a beautiful young dog who really deserves a fantastic home to match my fabulous nature, so I've got all my paws crossed xx
