About Rex
Rex is a striking, large neutered male with a bright energy that shines the moment you meet him. This athletic mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Black Mouth Cur has tested negative for heartworm and is up to date on his vaccinations. Energetic and playful, he’s always up for a game of fetch—though he’s still working on retrieving the ball back. He walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and already knows a few basic commands. Due to his size and exuberance, Rex isn't recommended for homes with small children, but he should do well with older kids who understand big, bouncy dogs. At the shelter, he hasn’t gotten along with other dogs, though animals often change in a stable home. With ongoing training and consistency, he’s got the potential to become a loyal and impressive companion. Rex is 2 years old—and born in early February, making him an Aquarius, if you keep track of that sort of thing. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
