Rex

Rex is a handsome shepherd mix, likely around six years old, who found himself in a tough situation on the streets of Houston. He was rescued and brought into our care, though his past with his previous owners clearly weighs on him. Despite being abandoned, Rex seems to remember them and misses them deeply, showing signs of confusion and longing. He's a dog with a strong personality and can be dominant, but he avoids conflict. Rex is learning to trust again and will quietly lean in for pets when he feels comfortable, but he also has a protective side and will let you know if he feels uneasy. He responds to kindness and is looking for someone who understands his need for patience and reassurance as he navigates his grief. He's a smart and capable shepherd who needs an experienced adopter who can offer him the stable and loving environment he deserves.
