Hi everyone, my name is Rex
This bright and energetic boy is bursting with intelligence and enthusiasm. He’s eager to learn and thrives with mental stimulation, making him the perfect companion for someone ready to commit to ongoing obedience training. Rex is still working on his manners and impulse control, so a home without young children or elderly residents is best, as he tends to jump and gets a bit too excited.
Rex may be able to live with a confident adult dog who can calmly show him the ropes, as he can get a bit silly and overexcited when first meeting other dogs. With time and positive guidance, he settles well and enjoys canine company.
He’s an adventure-seeker who loves car rides—especially with the window down so he can feel the breeze in his fur.
With the right guidance, Rex is ready to bring energy, love, and life into his forever home!

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
