Bio:

Meet Rex — a survivor with a heart full of hope

Rex hasn’t had the easiest start, but through it all, he’s kept his spirit. This handsome shepherd mix was found as a stray months ago in rough shape . A kind family stepped in, gave him safety, food, and time to heal — hoping to help him find the forever home he deserves. When they could no longer care for him, Rex found his way to the shelter.

Rex at a glance:
• Male, 2 years old
• ~64 lbs of loyal potential
• Shepherd mix (best guess)
• Not yet neutered
• Heartworm positive ❤️‍
• Owner surrender (rescued stray)

Rex’s journey:
Rex has spent much of his life outdoors and is still learning what it means to be a house dog. He’ll need help with basic manners and structure — but he’s young, eager, and ready to learn with the right guidance.

He hasn’t always known consistency, but what he does know is kindness. With patience and love, Rex is going to thrive.

What Rex needs:
• A family willing to help him learn and grow
• Time, training, and encouragement
• A secure place to finally call home
• Someone who sees his past — but believes in his future ✨

Why Rex is worth it:
Rex is proof that second chances matter. Behind those soulful eyes is a dog who just wants stability, understanding, and a person who won’t give up on him.

If you’re looking for a dog to invest your heart in — one who will repay you with loyalty and gratitude — Rex is waiting.
Help Rex turn survival into forever.

More about this shelter

We are the Habersham County Animal Care & Control. We intake from Habersham County Georgia. We take in strays, owner surrenders, abandoned and abused animals.

We take in approximately 200-300 animals monthly. In order to get them out into safe and loving homes, time is of the essence! Our facility was not built for the volume we encounter.

The shelter provides safe haven for stray and abandoned animals, and makes every effort to find good homes for available cats and dogs. We hope both County residents, and non-residents, will choose the adoption- option for our deserving pets,
