My story

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

Rex is very timid, but for all he has been through, it is totally understandable! He was surrendered to our rescue in pretty poor condition. His hair was matted, and he was covered in urine and feces. His former person was unable of providing him with adequate care. This boy hasn’t been handled much and needs a lot of love. It may take time to win him over, and work on training, but it’ll be a very rewarding and bonding experience.
