Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If there’s one thing Rex is going to do, it’s strut his stuff! This handsome old-timer just keeps getting better with age. Rex is an American Pit Bull Terrier who is considered a senior at around 8 years old, but don’t let that number fool you. He’s still full of life, love, and personality.
Rex has yet to meet a stranger. He has a wonderful, friendly temperament and enjoys spending time with his human friends. He loves a good snuggle once he's done romping around the yard. When it comes to other dogs, Rex has lived successfully with a canine companion and has shown playful interest in dogs here at HSOC, especially the lady dogs, who he makes sure to show off for.
Rex was adopted in 2019 and returned to us in 2025 due to unforeseen circumstances, through no fault of his own. We know that in his younger days, cats were a bit too exciting for him. Any dogs in the household would need to participate in a meet-and-greet with Rex to ensure a good match.
Rex is considered special needs due to his age and skin allergies. He currently takes a joint supplement and Apoquel to help manage itching and inflammation, and he will need to continue both after adoption or while in foster care. Rex also has a few benign, wart-like growths that have been examined and are not expected to cause him any medical issues.
If you’re looking for a sweet senior who will bring love, light, and plenty of laughter into your home, Rex is ready to meet you. Submit an application with the Humane Society of Oldham County to begin your journey with this wonderful boy.
