Rex is a beautiful dog who has the personality to match his looks. He is a friendly and sociable dog who adores people and is a big softy.

He is also very good with other dogs. He came in to our care with his brother Bruce but they are looking to move on to pastures new without each other. Rex loves canine company and has been mixing well with all the dogs he has met in his foster home. He would like a home where there is an existing dog or two. He could be rehomed as a single dog as long as he had a lot of human company and mental stimulation.

Rex is a very reliable and confident dog. He has not been phased by his time at the pound and settled well in his foster home. He is not nervous of loud noises and even a trip to the vets is a social-wag-your-tail occassion for him! He really could be somebody's rock. the sort of dog you can really rely on.

He does need a little more trianing to walk nicely on a loose lead as he can forge ahead. He knows to sit on command and has a lovely recall. He is not a big fan of the car as he does get travel sick like many other dogs.



All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. Hope Rescue rehomes throughout the UK. A Pre-Home Interest Form should be returned to Hope Rescue.

Oh he is adorable - if he was a girl I would have took him on straight away. But having a dog that doesn't get on very well with other dogs a bitch is all we could have as he doesn't seem to be too reactive with bitches.

Oh what pot luck - he's gorgeous, I hope his forever home comes along soon and he does look very Aussie like but I don't know for sure.

Good luck Rex..

Rex has moved a new rescue and will be rehomed via them
