Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. <br/><br/>Personality | Sweet and friendly as they come, Rex is the best guy. He does great meeting new people in a calm manner and loves getting pets from everyone. Rex will entertain himself with toys and has a really playful demeanor. He is rarely not wagging his tail. He's a giant lovebug and cuddler. I'm excited for the family who gets to adopt this great dog!<br/><br/>Story | Rex was picked up by animal control, roaming the streets outside of Houston this spring. This poor guy was a bit sad and lonely, and was SO excited when an AC officer offered him a seat in her truck! He was in foster with an animal control officer prior to making his way to Colorado and deserves the best life. <br/><br/>Other Dogs | Rex is pretty low key and likes other dogs, but also doesn't mind just hanging independently in their presence. He's happy to play, happy to chill, and does well with pups of all sizes. Rex would do well with a dog sibling to play with or in a house by himself.<br/><br/>Cats | Rex hasn't been cat tested. <br/><br/>Children | Rex loves little humans and would do well in a home with them!<br/><br/>Training | Rex knows basic commands. He's smart, teachable, and eager to please. Rex free roams at night but doesn't get into anything and sleeps all night with no issues. He does great during the day in a crate even for long periods. Rex also travels well in the car in a soft crate. He doesn't bark and has not displayed any destructive behaviors (besides a few plushie toys). Rex would do well with a backyard to run around in, but not a necessity. <br/><br/>Leash | Rex gets really excited to meet people and other dogs while on leash, so working on his reactivity and pullling. He has responded super well to training and already made drastic improvement. He's a fast learner and treat motivated.<br/><br/>Activity Level | Moderate. <br/><br/>Health Notes | Rex is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education and care. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects.
