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

Meet Rex, also known as Rexie the Bestie! This handsome 68lb Black Lab mix, born around September 2020, is a bubbly and outgoing guy who absolutely adores attention. He's an absolute favorite of our volunteers, especially since he's a master snuggler who thinks he's a lap dog, even at his nearly 70lb size! Rex was rescued as a stray and, after a difficult start in life, is now ready to shower his forever person with guaranteed kisses. He's proven himself to be a social butterfly, doing wonderfully at adoption events, including an Astros watch party and outings to dog-friendly restaurants.

Ideal Home

Rex would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of love and attention. He is dog selective and prefers a home that understands proper introductions for him to befriend other dogs.

Ongoing Health

Rex is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Rex is kennel and potty trained. He’s looking for a loving home to continue his journey of trust and affection. We offer adopters 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days.

Transporation

Rex is located in Houston, TX.

These ground transports use specialized vehicles, and adopters can track the van using the Life360 app and receive updates.
