Rex is a 4-year-old hound mix who tipped the scales at nearly 50 pounds when he arrived at the shelter. This handsome but shy guy came in as a stray, and it's important that his next home provides a secure environment to keep him safe. Rex has shown a shy demeanor, so he needs a patient owner who will allow him to blossom at his own pace. Though his history with other animals and children is unclear, slow introductions are advised. During his time at the shelter, he’s kept his kennel clean, suggesting he may be house trained. Rex also has sensitive ears and skin, so a special diet will be necessary to keep him comfortable. Regular baths with gentle shampoo will help manage any irritation. If Rex sounds like a good fit for your home, please reach out to meet him!
