Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rex — the tri-tri (tricolored tripod) Mini Aussie who stole everyone’s hearts and doesn’t even realize he’s missing a leg. 🐾
Rex came into rescue after being hit by a car. His family went to incredible lengths trying to get him help — relying on public transportation in Dallas to make their way to the Dallas Animal Shelter, hoping someone could help their injured puppy. Instead, they were handed nothing but a QR code and sent on their way.
Thankfully, someone was listening.
Dallas Cat Lady overheard their story and couldn’t just walk away. She stepped in to help Rex get the care he desperately needed. In the end, his family made the heartbreaking but selfless decision to surrender him, knowing it was the best chance for Rex to have the life he deserved.
And let us tell you — Rex is basically perfect.
Despite everything he’s been through, Rex is an absolute dream dog. He potties outside with zero accidents, doesn’t get into things, and can be trusted free-roaming all day and night. Most of his time is spent happily playing with his toys or snoozing in his favorite recliner.
For an 8-month-old puppy, he’s incredibly chill — comfortable both on his own and soaking up love from his people. He adores kids (especially the 6-year-old who has officially claimed him as her favorite… though honestly, it’s hard not to feel the same way).
Being a tripod doesn’t slow Rex down one bit. He loves:
🐾 Walks
🚗 Car rides for pup cups
🛋️ Cuddling on the couch or his favorite chair
🧸 Playing with toys
Rex is affectionate, resilient, and full of joy — and ready for a forever home filled with love, adventures, and plenty of cuddles. 💛
