About Tex

His striking red speckled coat reflects his energetic personality, and he weighs in at around 35 pounds. This medium-sized boy thrives on companionship, always eager to be by your side, whether you’re relaxing at home or on the go. Fully trained and responsive, Tex knows commands like sit, stay, leave it, and place. He enjoys learning and responds well to positive reinforcement and structure. Already house-trained and crate-trained, he can comfortably settle when left alone, observing the world from a window. His favorite activities include daily walks, playful fetch sessions, and joyful runs that allow him to stretch his legs. Tex is not only affectionate but also loyal, forming strong bonds with those who care for him. Though he’s friendly with other dogs, he requires a home without young children due to his herding instincts. Previous overstimulation has led to incidents where he bit, and it’s essential for his new family to be dedicated to ongoing, structured training. He would thrive in a loving home with adults or older teens who appreciate his active lifestyle and provide regular exercise and engagement. Tex is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, ready to start a new chapter with a family who will embrace both his playful spirit and need for guidance.
