Rex

My story

Meet Rex: The Energetic and Loyal Gentleman! Rex is a stunning 3-year-old American Pit Bull mix, though he proudly identifies as the ultimate mutt! This tall and handsome 75-pound boy is full of charm and personality, ready to be your most loyal companion. Despite his size, Rex is a lightweight at heart, with a sweet and fun-loving nature that makes him a joy to be around. Rex is currently located in Houston, Texas, but he dreams of finding a foster or forever home in the Pacific Northwest where he can begin his next chapter. To start the adoption process, visit: [www.doggedly.org/adoption-app](www.doggedly.org/adoption-app). Rex’s journey is one of resilience and gratitude. Found in a high-risk shelter with only minutes left before euthanasia, Rex was rescued and placed in a loving foster home. He’s thriving in this environment, where he enjoys constant enrichment and has made many doggy friends of all sizes and breeds. Though Rex doesn’t hold grudges, he has learned to be cautious and prefers slow introductions to new canine companions. He thrives with friendly, easygoing dogs and has shown he can get along well with alpha females. This adventurous boy is always ready for fun, whether it’s a walk, a car ride with the windows down (secured safely in a harness), or a play session with his furry friends. Rex is house-trained, kennel-trained, and leash-trained, though he does best with a no-pull harness. His love of food is unmatched—mealtime is his favorite time of day, and he’s happy to enjoy treats like sardines, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, and more. Rex adores people, especially kids, whose playful and goofy nature puts him at ease. He’s gentle, patient, and always eager to please, making him a fantastic family dog. While he’s active and playful, Rex also has a calm side and will happily cuddle up for some downtime. Rex is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped—he is ready to go! Currently completing treatment for a mild case of heartworm, Rex is on track to make a full recovery and is otherwise in excellent health. This sweet and spunky boy deserves a home that will shower him with love and help him continue to build confidence as he settles into his new life. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with a heart of gold, Rex is your perfect match. Don’t miss the chance to make this amazing dog a part of your family!
