About Rexx

Rexx has faced significant challenges in a short span of time. He came to Associated Humane Societies as a stray, having likely been hit by a car, which resulted in a severe injury to his back leg. The dedicated team quickly took action, and after being transported for an amputation surgery, he’s now on the road to recovery in Tinton Falls. Though he seems a bit stressed and unsure, which is understandable given what he’s been through, Rexx’s resilience shines through. He’s learning to navigate life on three legs and is determined to move forward. Rexx would thrive in a quiet home where he can rest and recuperate. While he’d love to find a forever family, a fostering option would also be immensely beneficial. Stop by to meet this brave boy and see how your love can make a difference in his recovery.
