Shy at first, but a superstar in the making!
Rex is a gentle, sensitive soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is very anxious when meeting new people and needs time and patience to settle in. However, once he begins to trust, he shows a clear eagerness to please and responds well to a gentle, reassuring approach. Rex enjoys the company of other dogs and may benefit from having a calm canine companion to help him build confidence. He is housetrained but has lived outdoors in a kennel, so he will likely need some refresher training. Car travel is new to him, but he coped well in a crate on his trip to the vet. Rex is still learning to walk on a lead and will need continued support with recall and basic training.
History
Rex was handed in for rehoming after showing predatory behaviour towards chickens and being nervous around young children.
Re-homing Criteria
Rex needs a quiet, rural home where he can feel safe and supported. Due to his nervous nature, he can be flighty and has been known to be an escape artist, so a secure garden is essential. He may benefit from living with an older, confident dog who can offer reassurance and guidance. Although he has lived with cats before, care must be taken around other small animals as he has shown some predatory instincts. As Rex has been nervous around young children, we would only consider homes with teenagers who are able to respect his space and understand his need for a calm environment. Rex needs a patient and experienced owner who can offer consistent, positive training and help him gain confidence at his own pace.
It may take time for Rex to come out of his shell but with the right guidance, Rex has the potential to become the most loyal and loving companion. If you can offer him the calm, quiet, secure home he deserves, please get in touch.
