Rex is the kind of gentle soul who takes a moment to read the room before stepping into it. With his cutest perky ears always on alert and his striking eyes—each a different color—he’s as unique on the outside as he is on the inside.

Being food motivated, he enjoys learning and already knows “sit,” especially when a tasty reward is involved. He absolutely melts for a good butt scratch and soaks up the attention. At home, you’ll often find him stretched out in a sunny spot, content and relaxed. As a proud Hidden Gems Club member, Rex is just waiting to be discovered.
