Meet Rex, a dazzling little bundle of joy who will steal your heart with his silky, shaggy fur and expressive eyes! 🥰 Born on July 6, 2022, this charming mix of Shih Tzu, Poodle, Yorkie, Pug, and Maltese weighs in at about 16-17 lbs and is ready for a life filled with love and adventure! 🌟 Although Rex has had a few homes in his short life, all the changes have left him a bit anxious. But fear not! This spirited boy is a bundle of energy and is just waiting to find an owner who’s ready to take him hiking, on long walks, or on playful adventures. 🚶‍♂️💨 He LOVES the wind in his fur during car rides and enjoys snuggling up after a fun-filled day. If you’re searching for an adventure buddy who also knows how to cuddle, look no further! Rex is not just a pretty face—he is also potty trained and knows some nifty commands like sit, down, wait, paw, and touch. Plus, he’s food motivated, which makes him easy to train with treats! 🥕🍎 He enjoys all sorts of fun foods, including veggies and fruits, so mealtime is bound to be a delightful experience for both of you! While he’s a playful spirit who enjoys fetch, chase, and even swimming, Rex can be a little picky about his companions. He does not do well with small children and can show some reactivity on the leash, so a doggy friend and a calm environment would really help him shine. 🌈 Potential adopters should know that most dogs require in-person meetings before adoption, which means living within a 2-hour radius of Orange County is ideal. For those considering long-distance adoption, Rex may be a candidate, especially since he’s been in rescue since February 3, 2025, and is still looking for that perfect match. Rex comes altered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and underwent a brief temperament evaluation to help find the best home for him. 🏡 So, if you’re ready to fill your life with joy, cuddles, and countless adventures with Rex, don’t wait! ✨ Apply through the Buddy App today and give this magnificent little guy the forever home he deserves! ✈️💖
