He enjoys spending time with people and thrives in an active home where he can exercise, explore, and be part of everyday life. Whether he's out on a long walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing after a fun day, Rex loves being close to his family. At just over 2 years old, Rex has moved beyond the puppy stage while still maintaining the playful spirit and enthusiasm of a young dog. He is intelligent, curious, and eager to learn, making him an excellent companion for an adopter who enjoys an active lifestyle and is committed to continuing his training. As an American Foxhound / Terrier Mix, Rex combines the athleticism, endurance, and keen senses of the American Foxhound with the intelligence and lively personality of the Terrier. This mix typically enjoys outdoor activities, regular exercise, and spending quality time with their people. With consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement, Rex has all the qualities to become a loyal lifelong companion. Rex enjoys the company of people and would do well with a family that can provide daily activity, companionship, and opportunities to keep both his body and mind engaged.

Rex is intelligent and eager to please, making positive reinforcement training both enjoyable and rewarding.
