A little about them

Rex is an 8-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix with a fun blend of spunk and chill. He enjoys relaxing on the couch, following his favorite person around, asking for treats, playing with stuffed animals, carrying his chew stick, and romping in the yard. Once he trusts you, Rex is a devoted companion who wants to stay close.

Ideal Home

Rex would be happiest with people and one or more other small dogs. He must live in a feline-free home. Because he becomes sad when left alone, he would do best with someone who is home more often than not; he may be comfortable as the only dog if someone is home all the time.

Training & Support

Rex knows how to sit and is comfortable relaxing in a home. He may bark along with household sounds and communicates with puppy-dog eyes, paws, grumbles, and occasional barks. He needs patience while adjusting to new people and a new home, plus help learning where the back door is. Keeping him on a schedule and spending time outside with him will help him settle in and bond with his family.
