Rex approaches life with an easy, joyful attitude that makes him such a pleasure to have around. big soft house hippo who knows how to chill.'

Rex has a steady, easygoing nature that brings a sense of peace wherever he goes. He loves affection, especially when you squat down and invite him in, but he is also perfectly content entertaining himself with toys, sniffing around, or relaxing nearby. He has mastered the art of being close without being demanding and truly knows how to chill.

He is fully potty trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to a home. Rex enjoys his daily leash walks and walks nicely when you are moving, though he is always happy to pause for a good sniff when given the chance. He loves toys, especially Kongs and a good game of tug of war, and he often carries them around proudly as if showing them off. He is treat motivated, eager to please, and genuinely just a very good dog.

Rex lives with small children and is extremely gentle with them. Even a four year old can walk him on leash, and he instinctively knows to go slow and be careful with tiny humans. He is sweet, patient, and respectful, with the kind of temperament that families dream of.

People are truly Rex's favorite thing in the whole world. He is friendly, affectionate, and easygoing with everyone he meets, and he has a way of making people feel instantly at ease. His loving nature and calm confidence make him a wonderful companion for all kinds of households.

Rex does wonderfully with other dogs and currently lives with dogs of all shapes and sizes, including small dogs around ten pounds. He coexists beautifully with everyone and tends to do his own thing rather than engage in nonstop play once introductions are done. His ideal dog companion would be medium to low energy and respectful, but he would also be perfectly happy as a solo dog, soaking up all of the love as someones one and only.

Rex has not yet been fully introduced to cats, but if he seems like he could be your guy, we are happy to do further cat testing to help determine if he could be a good fit for your home.

Despite his size, Rex is very apartment friendly. He is quiet, gentle, and low key, and his needs are simple. A couple of walks, some sniffing time, a few toys, and plenty of affection are all it takes to make him happy. After that, he is more than ready to curl up on the couch for a cozy nap with his favorite person.

Handsome, steady, gentle, and endlessly lovable, Rex is the kind of dog who brings calm and happiness into a home.

If you're looking for a loyal best friend who's equal parts handsome, goofy, affectionate, and low-fuss Rex is your guy.
