About Rex

Meet Rex! This handsome, curly-coated Standard Poodle is quite the catch. He's a large boy with an even bigger heart, ready to be a wonderful companion. Rex is mellow, well-mannered, and knows his tricks. Previously, he lived successfully with both cats and children, showcasing his friendly demeanor. Quiet and completely housebroken, grooming Rex is also a breeze. He was very loved by his previous family and came to us when they had to move unexpectedly out of the country. Rex enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring his surroundings, and finding the perfect sunny spot for a good old-fashioned sunbath. He’s a well-rounded gentleman looking for a new family to call his own. If a big, fluffy, well-mannered best friend sounds like your kind of companion, come meet Rex at our Mills Civic shelter today!
