MY HISTORY

Rex has been passed around a lot in his short life so far. He is desperate for some routine and stability.

ABOUT REX

Hi, I’m Rex!

I have had a tough time of things so far in my young life. I am looking for a committed home to continue with my training and give me the stability that I need.

I love my food and treats, I love to play with toys too!

I’m quite a goofball with a silly personality!

I have a lot of energy (typical for my age group) and will benefit from sufficient physical exercise and mental enrichment.

I am an affectionate and loving boy with no concept of personal space!

I travel very well in the car.

I would prefer a home where someone is around initially a lot of the time as I curently struggle being left.

I am looking for a home who can give me plenty of time and patience whilst I am in training.

Please reach out if you can offer me a foster or forever home!

HEALTH

I am in good general health.

I will have a health check once a foster home is secured for me.

MY TEMPERAMENT WITH OTHER DOGS

I can be a bit vocal and pull towards other dogs, I just want to play!

I struggle to let this go sometimes, I am learning to be calm before engaging with other dogs as I am very full on and this is not always appreciated!

I can be pully on the lead.

MY IDEAL FAMILY

I would best fit a pet free and adult only home.

I can be quite mouthy still and have some learning to do!

I would really benefit from crate training to help with my seperation anxiety and to allow me to get some rest throughout the day.

I would potentially benefit from adolescent/puppy classes.

Do you have a home for Rex?

We are looking for foster families and adoptive families.

We do ask foster homes to be within an hour’s drive of Bournemouth foster homes will be expected to drive back to our vets in Bournemouth and to meet with prospective new homes.

We rehome to adoptive families within a 2 hour driving radius of Bournemouth. (maximum 2hrs, 30 minutes for the perfect applicant willing to travel) Please DO NOT ask if we make exceptions further and look at other rescues covering your area if we do not.

A home check and a vet check is required, with a £275 adoption fee (or £425 for puppy adoption under 1 year), which contributes partially to kennel fees, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neutering, flea/worming treatment and other veterinary costs. This adoption fee will contribute to the care of all our dogs.

We have a thorough rehoming programme to prepare you and your dog for each other. We also offer help and support for you both in the future. Learn about responsible ownership or contact us if you have any questions.

If you are considering fostering or permanently rehoming a dog, then please print off and complete one of the forms below:

Please note: We only rehome within a 2.5 hour driving radius of the Bournemouth area and do not place dogs in homes with children under the age of 6.
