About REX, a.k.a Rexie the Bestie, a volunteer FAV

Meet Rex, a.k.a. Rexie the Bestie! This handsome 68lb Black Lab mix, born around September 2020, is a bubbly and outgoing guy who absolutely lives to run, play, and receive praise for being a good boy. He's a champion snuggler who believes he's a lap dog, despite his nearly 70lb frame, and guarantees 24/7 kisses. Rex is a volunteer favorite because he easily climbs into laps and showers everyone with affection.

Rescued as a stray, Rex has overcome a difficult past and is now ready to share his immense love with a forever family. He's a social butterfly, excelling at adoption events, charming visitors at an Astros watch party and even enjoying dinner at a dog-friendly restaurant with his best buddy, Bambi.

Ideal Home

Rex is looking for a loving home where he can continue to share his sweet nature.

Ongoing Health

Rex is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Rex is kennel and potty trained. He is dog selective and friendly with other dogs, especially females, after proper introductions.
