My mother's failing health is the reason this dog needs rehomed. He is very shy and not really acclimated to new experiences. When he was younger my mother would walk him on the leash and he did pretty well. Other than being woefully shy, he is a nice little dog.

Story
Meet Rex! Rex is an approximately 1 and a half year old mix breed pup. He has an absolutely stunning brindle coat. The beautiful tiger striped pattern on his back is amazing. Rex is a friendly boy who loves to be around people. He is a great snuggler and loves belly scratches. Some of his favorite things to do are playing catch, chasing squirrels, eating ice cubes and watching Animal Planet. Rex has done well with the other dogs he’s met at LHS. When Rex was young he was not treated very nicely. Because of this he gets anxious when there are loud noises or people yelling. He needs a calm and patient owner that will help him feel confident. We are suggesting older kids for Rex. If you would like to give Rex the life he deserves, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours. Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday 12-3p.

Story
This handsome pup is Walter. He is a mixed breed who is approximately 9months old. Walter is a bit shy but does warm up quickly and his playful, energetic personality shines through. Walter did not get a lot of socialization as a young puppy, so many things are new to him. We are looking for a home that may have another well behaved dog for Walter to pal around with. Walter would also enjoy some older kids to play with. He loves playing in the LHS yard with the other dogs so a fenced yard would be a plus. He does need work on leash walking and learning basic commands. Please make sure you have the time, energy and patience to dedicate to him. If you would like to meet Walter, stop in during open hours Wednesdays 6-8pm and Saturdays 12-3pm. You may also fill out our online application.https://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org/online-adoption-form
