Meet Rex

Rex is a gorgeous little lad! He might have the colouring (and name) of a big, ferocious dog, but infact Rex is a little sweetheart! He adores people and loves snuggling on the couch with his foster carer, and rolling around with excited snuffles.
Rex has proven to be mostly ok with cats, only getting excited sometimes when they run past him, and responds well to verbal correction. He plays well with other dogs but mostly just prefers to be near to his owners. He does know his name, but his recall isn't solid, and so would require to be on-lead in public places.

Rex would suit a home with secure fencing (he is a clever chap and will squeeze through small gaps to go exploring) and a family who will invite him inside the home to be a part of the family. Currently he sleeps in a crate by his foster carers bed (as the family cat sleeps on the bed) however he has shown that he would be delighted to sleep on the bed, if he has means to get up there!

Currently being fostered in Lithgow, Rex would be delighted to meet his potential new family.
