My story

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

Hi there, I'm Rex, and I'm excited to introduce myself to you! I'm an older, bigger guy with an even bigger heart, and I'm looking for a family who's ready to share their love and companionship with a big goofball like me.

My activity level is a perfect blend of energetic and chill. I enjoy a good mix of playtime and relaxation, making me an ideal companion for all kinds of adventures - from leisurely strolls to cozy cuddle sessions.

Meeting new people is one of my favorite things to do. I get excited and interested when I encounter new faces, and I'm always ready to make new friends. I have a friendly and warm demeanor that shines through when I interact with people.

When it comes to other pets, I'm quite mellow. I've been around other animals during walks, and while I notice them, I stay calm and composed. I'm a laid-back fellow who prefers to keep on walking, enjoying the world around me.

Petting is a joy for me, and I'll seek it out whenever I can. I absolutely love belly rubs, and spending time with my human friends is a highlight of my day. I've got some neat tricks up my sleeve too - I know how to sit and give my paw. Plus, I'm an excellent walking companion. I won't pull on the leash, and I'm happy to explore alongside you.

My special qualities? Well, I'm a big dog who thinks he's a lap dog. I might be large, but I've got a gentle and cuddly side that I'm more than willing to share. I'm a fantastic companion for walks, and I'll keep you company wherever you go in the house. I'm also quite the good listener and don't bark unnecessarily. And here's a bonus - I barely shed, which means less cleanup for you!

For my perfect family, I'd thrive with folks who want a laid-back and affectionate furry friend. I am also looking for a family without any young children. If you're up for walks, cuddles, and spending quality time together, then I believe we'd make a great match. Let's start this new journey together and create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

Love,
Rex

P.S. I qualify for the Foster First Program so you can take me home for two weeks to see how we get along before deciding if you want to adopt me.
