Description:
Rex is growing from a puppy to a handsome young man and is a well behaved little boy. He knows "sit" and "lay down" and loves to be by his people. Unless there is a distraction (ie. animal, noise, etc), then he needs to check that out!
Rex is very sweet and cuddly and loves sleeping under the blankets with his people. He gives lots of kisses and unless distracted, is by my side 90% of the time. He's not too much of a barker, but will bark at strangers or animals outside/at the door while he protects his home. He spends the days in our mud room and sleeps in bed with us at night. He doesn't care much for a kennel and will cry and bark in it (and make a cute, but heartbreaking sad face). He is housebroken if on a schedule and you watch for his potty cues. He does have the occasional accident in the house when we're home, but overall is good with going outside.
Rex LOVES other dogs and needs a companion to keep him occupied. He gets along with all dogs/sizes and just loves to play. As long as he has a buddy and gets his exercise, he's an amazing little dog. He also needs a fenced in yard. He listens very well in the house, but outside can be distracting. In typical terrier fashion, he has a high prey drive so if he sees anything he thinks he can catch...squirrel, bug, bird, leaf, plastic bag..he's going after it and is on his own schedule so a fence is needed to allow him his exercise and keep him safely in the yard as he's a flight risk. As far as children, he would do best with older children who are familiar with how to properly handle dogs. He's lived with younger children and he didn't care for it, but he currently lives with an older teen now and couldn't be any more loving.
Rex is really such a sweet boy and is a really good dog! He just needs to find the right fit. He doesn't fit into every home, but in the right setting, he's a great little guy.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
