About Rex

Meet Rex! This charming 3 to 4-year-old Maltese mix weighs around 16 pounds. He’s currently being fostered in Texas but will travel to New Jersey once adopted. Rex quickly settled into his foster home and has transformed into a sweet lap dog, yearning for affection. He loves to hop on laps whenever the opportunity arises. Rex gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, although he prefers a bit of distance from one particular male dog when it comes to his crate. He’s both house and crate-trained, so you can feel confident in welcoming him into your home. Rex came to the rescue after his previous family faced eviction. All he asks for in return is a loving family and some time to adapt to his new surroundings. Rex will be vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped before his arrival. He’s ready to find his forever home where he can truly shine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
