Rex

My story

***PLEASE NOTE, EMAILS FROM THE SITE EXPRESSING YOUR INTEREST IN ADOPTING WILL NOT BE ANSWERED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE REVIEW OUR ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS AND COMPLETE THE ONLINE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE TO BEGIN THE PROCESS. ONLY APPROVED ADOPTERS MAY MEET THE AVAILABLE DOGS IN THE GSRNJ PROGRAM - WWW.GSRNJ.ORG*** Remember Rex from a few months ago? He’s back with us and looking for the right home. Rex was adopted, but shortly after, his new family discovered he was reactive at the front door. They worked with a trainer and made some progress, but he continued to struggle with one family member, so they made the difficult decision to return him. Rex is now looking for a calm, experienced home—ideally with someone familiar with German Shepherds or dogs who need a little extra support. He’ll need to be the only pet in the home (no cats, please!), and he’d do best in a quiet environment without children and with limited visitors. Meeting new people should happen outside the home and on Rex’s terms, as he needs time and space to feel comfortable. He’s a beautiful, traditional-colored GSD who bonds closely with his person. Rex walks nicely on a leash, loves his toys, and is up to date on vaccines and neutered. With the right person—someone patient and willing to continue working with a trainer—Rex has the potential to truly thrive. If you think you could be the one for him, we’d love to hear from you.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rex, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
