He is a bubbly, outgoing guy. He loves to run around and play, sit for treats, and hang with his people. He wants nothing more than validation that he is a good boy. With this one, you get guaranteed kisses 24/7! He is an Absolute Favorite of many volunteers, especially since he clims into the good laps easily. This sweetheart is such a Snuggler: thinks he's a lap dog nearly 70 lbs!<br/><br/>Rex was rescued as a stray, and has not had an easy start. Rex fell into the wrong hands at some point in his life and has been betrayed by the people that were supposed to protect him. He is now ready to find his forever person/people that he can share all his love with. <br/><br/>Rex has been to several adoption events and done exceptionally well. He went with his rescue buddies to an Astroโ€™s watch party at a local bar, he was so sweet and just happy to be there! He got lots of hugs and kisses from visitors and loved every minute of it. <br/><br/>He has also accompanied a couple of our volunteers to dinner at a dog friendly restaurant, along with his best buddy Bambi. They were so patient and laid peacefully under the table, just people watching and loving on the volunteers :-) <br/><br/>Rex is a 5 year old, 68 lb Black Labrador Retriever mix that is:<br/> โญ๏ธ Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & neutered<br/> ๐Ÿก Kennel & potty trained<br/> ๐Ÿถ Dog selective, he likes the girls and is friendly with proper introductions<br/> ๐Ÿ“ located in Houston, TX ...........

Sunnyside Street Dogs's Adoption Policy
Application is received and reviewed. References will be checked. A home visit in person or on face time will be completed at a mutually convenient time. After the adoption fee paid and contract(s) signed, the dog or puppy can be picked up or transported. Transportation is included in the adoption fee if you live outside of Texas. The availability of the transport company, foster or volunteer transporter, and adopter will determine when the dog unites with their new forever person/people. Pets going on transport will have a health certificate completed by a veterinarian declaring the pet healthy for transport. Read more on transport below. If a dog/puppy goes to their forever home without being spayed or neutered, the adopter needs to sign a sterilization contract - promising they will get their dog/puppy spayed or neutered. Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption. If a dog is adopted out of state, they will arrive to their destination via ground transport, unless the adopter will pick up. We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way.
