Rex

Rex 3-year-old male yellow mix 77 lbs Neutered<br/><br/>Background. <br/>A heartbreaking story... This guy was brought in to a vet in Stanislaus County by a good Samaritan (we think) who found him. We suspect he had either fallen off the back of a truck or had been hit by a car. He was suffering from multiple abrasions and lacerations and a dislocated hip. A rescue advocate in the Modesto area notified us... and we mobilized to get him the heck out of there and into our program. After a few quick vet visits and med boarding, he was treated for his wounds and underwent FHO surgery in mid-April to resolve the dislocated femur bone. <br/><br/>Rex sits for treats -- https://youtu.be/0_ekzB-9DyM<br/><br/>Wandering around with Rex -- https://youtu.be/I0a8vX0Dsx8 <br/><br/>Rex hanging out in the backyard -- https://youtu.be/ES3SDmqhBxY <br/><br/>Rex greets foster Linda when she arrives home -- https://youtube.com/shorts/wnfU-Q5wFgQ<br/><br/>Rex chewing antler -- https://youtube.com/shorts/iCUy0_lGisE<br/><br/>Rex preparing for dinner -- https://youtube.com/shorts/ZZYurLVWfuo<br/><br/>What Rex' foster says. <br/>Rex came to me one day following FHO surgery. He was on four meds and had to wear the cone of shame with limitations. Fast forward a few months and Rex has made great progress and gets around really well. He is completely housebroken, a true gentleman and well behaved in the house and the backyard. Rex has learned to love his crate after some work and easily chills for a few hours when I need to leave the house. Rex has a healthy appetite and sleeps through the night on a dog bed in my room. Rex does have a very strong prey drive that also carries over to our walks when he sees other dogs and animals. He truly loves all people but he is quite anxious/reactive when he sees other dogs and cats, besides the neighbor's dog that he walks with. He is not a “dog park dog” and really enjoys spending time with me in the backyard and the house. Loves to sniff around, chase squirrels and birds in the yard when he gets a chance. He is not a digger or a barker. Rex would do best with an experienced dog owner, someone who spends a lot of time at home, that will give him regular exercise in the backyard and continue with his training if you plan to walk him. Rex is perfectly happy hanging out near his person and will become your best friend quickly. <br/><br/>What Rex' Rescue Rep says. <br/>Quite a rescue and recovery for Rex. We did a DNA test on him... and he came back.... as... drum roll... half doberman, half pit bull terrier. We were thinking Rhodesian ridgeback, visla... Rex is fine with dogs he has been properly (and slowly) introduced to. But he is hyper vigilant and alert on walks about the neighborhood. He becomes quite anxious when he sees other dogs, cats, squirrels, etc... and kinda loses his mind. We are enlisting the help of professional dog trainers to design a rehabilitation/de-sensitization program for Rex. He will need a savvy and strong adopter who is game to take on a project. Not for a home with kids or anyone unsteady on their feet or a cat within a 10-mile radius. <br/><br/>Medical. <br/>Rex is current on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and neutered. He continues to build up muscle on that FHO'd leg. <br/><br/>Rex is located in: Mountain View.<br/><br/>If you are interested in Rex, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net
