Story
Meet Rex! 🐾❤️
Rex is a 3½-year-old neutered German Shepherd currently enjoying life in a loving foster home. This handsome 72–74 lb boy was born with congenital megaesophagus, a lifelong condition that requires special care at mealtimes and twice-daily medication.
Don’t let his medical needs fool you—Rex is an incredibly sweet, intelligent, well-behaved boy with an amazing sense of humor! He is house trained, doesn’t need to be crated when left alone, rides beautifully in the car, and loves playing games like Hide & Seek with his people and toys. He thrives on attention and companionship and has so much love to give.
Rex’s condition is manageable with the right routine, including several small meals each day served in an elevated position. He cannot safely swim, so his ideal home will have no ponds, lakes, or other bodies of water. He would also do best as the only pet in the home, without small children, and with a securely fenced yard.
Rex is looking for a dedicated adopter who understands his special needs and can provide the consistency, companionship, and care he deserves. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless laughs, and a truly special bond. ❤️
Could you be the person Rex has been waiting for? 🐶
