Rex is a large, adult male Labrador Retriever with a striking black coat. Now about 3 years and 4 months old, Rex has been neutered and has his vaccinations up to date. He currently lives in Columbia, MO, and is looking for a patient adopter who can offer him consistency, especially as he figures out how to channel his energy in a new home.

About Rex

Rex is a high-energy, outgoing Labrador Retriever who brings a lot of enthusiasm to every moment. He sometimes gets nervous when faced with new situations, so he'll appreciate patience and a steady routine as he settles into your life. Rex has previously lived with another dog, demonstrating some social skills, but there is not much record of his background beyond that. Because Rex is still learning to manage his size and exuberance—especially when he gets excited and jumps—he may do best in a home with adults or older teens who can provide guidance and help him navigate the excitement of new environments.
