Ideal Home

Meet the definition of the saying 'pocket rocket', Rex! Rex has come into us from a private home due to work/time commitments so the decision was made to find him a new home where we can hopefully find someone to give him everything he needs!

Although Rex looks calm, cuddly and cute he is in fact very high energy and cuddles are of a low priority for him - but of course he is super cute, though he would probably refer to himself as handsome 😀

We are looking for a super active home for this super active boy, he would walk and walk all day long and still have the energy for playtime so if you are looking for a walking buddy to accompany you on treks and hikes, Rex could be the man for you!

On the lead he can and does walk well but given the opportunity he will try and pull so further work may well be needed in his new home.

We are looking for a dog free home for him as since his castration he had become reactive with other dogs with his previous owners who said he seemed to be worst with male dogs. We have continued the work his owners started here and he is doing well, if you give him clear instructions and divert his attention he can walk passed other dogs without a fuss but if not he will stare and bark so we would highly recommend some training classes going forwards.

Though we have said cuddles aren't a priority for him, when he is in the home and free from the distractions of outdoors he does enjoy fuss, attention and to sit up on your lap to be close to you as he does love his humans!

In the playpen he loves his zoomies, loves to chase toys but not so great at bringing them back to you opting to continue running round with them! With this in mind we are looking for a home with a fair size garden for him so he has his own secure space for zooms whenever he wants and needs them.

We have been told that he travels well, is housetrained, no issues being left on his own and is crate trained.

Overall Rex is a lovely boy and would be an amazing walking companion for someone willing to put a bit of time and commitment into his training!
