Rex

Rex is a young, smart, Carolina Dog mix male, around 11–12 months old, bursting with energy and affection!<br/><br/> With Humans:<br/>Rex LOVES people! He’s gentle, enjoys kisses, and will happily lean in for pets. He’s quiet when in a room with humans, enjoys touching and being near you, and shows his affection in the sweetest ways. He can be a little mouthy when nervous, but that’s just his way of interacting at the shelter.<br/><br/> With Dogs:<br/>Rex can be selective with other dogs and may react with barriers in the kennel run, even to dogs he plays nicely with in the yard. He has a confident alpha-male friend (Leon) who helps him learn boundaries.<br/><br/>?At Home & Alone:<br/>Rex is still learning to be alone—he may whine or howl initially, but he settles with treats and toys. He’s motivated by food, toys, and affection, and can self-entertain once he’s comfortable.<br/><br/> Outside Adventures:<br/>Rex is curious but sometimes cautious around new sights and sounds. He handled seeing livestock and children beautifully, even leaning in for pets from a young girl!<br/><br/>?Training recommendations & Home Needs:<br/><br/>Separation anxiety: Will benefit from a slow, positive crate training. <br/><br/>Handling preferences: Doesn’t like to be hugged or picked up till he knows you. <br/><br/>Rex is looking for a patient, loving home with guidance, training, and lots of positive reinforcement. If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate, playful companion, Rex might just be your perfect match!
