Critter Details
From T-Rex to Rex…Rex is a chubby little red-haired sweetheart who has come a long way since arriving at the shelter frightened and unsure.When first at the shelter, he was so scared, cowering, shaking, and being reactive, earning the name “T-Rex.” With time, patience, and attention from volunteers, he began to relax and show his affectionate side—wagging his tail, seeking pets, and charming everyone by pawing the air for treats.After spending time with a wonderful foster parent, Rex has truly blossomed into a different dog. He is no longer the timid little “beast” he once seemed to be—just Rex, a lovable companion ready for a home of his own.• He rides well in the car and settles in easily.• He gets along with all the dogs he has met in his two foster homes.• He loves food of all kinds, including corn on the cob.• He is potty trained and enjoys stopping to “water” plenty of bushes on walks.• He is highly treat-motivated and will happily show off his adorable front-leg wave for attention.• He stays quietly in his crate or in the yard and sleeps through the night.• He walks well on leash and is easy to harness.Rex was initially a little too interested in the cat in his foster home, but corrected well. His foster mom says, “Rex has really grown on us. He cracks us up with his goofy nature, especially when he ‘sings’ for his meal!.”This little guy would make a wonderful companion. To meet Rex, please make an appointment through yoloshelter.org/dogs or email adopt@yoloshelter.org.
