You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rex-a-saurus !

10 month old male, malinois/german shepherd mix!

45 -50 pounds shouldn’t get bigger then 60 pounds

Drives- medium drives all round! pack drive and toy drive maybe a little above the rest!

Commands- look there’s a lot to learn! But as far as human words I’ve been taught “sit” “platz” “here” though the hand signals help a lot! I’m also a very good leash walker! I would make a great running/jogging companion

Kid friendly?- I’m super sweet but still learning my size! so bigger/dog-savvy kids 12+ would be best.

Dog friendly?- I Love dogs!!! So to continue teaching me neutrality is important! I’m non reactive & respectful of their corrections! I also like to steer clear of the fence fighters! Having a bigger dog around who has a similar play style would be soo fun! I grew up with 4 siblings so this is all new to me and the little guys think I’m too rough.

animal friendly? - I do have some decent prey drive but I’m still figuring out the world

I could be ok in a home with a cat that sticks up for it self.

Rabbits and birds are way too fun to chase and always show off so probably best in a home without these guys!

I’m pretty cool with farmyard critters, I keep my distance with the super big guys and under supervision I should get along with all of them!

People friendly?- yep! I get excited but I try to be polite too! Learning to limit my mouthiness and jumping. I’m very attentive and loyal.

Crate trained?- yes! yes! yes!!! If you work a 9-5 we should get on great, I love and need my naps ! Just make sure to give me a walk before and after with some training and play! If you notice me getting a little frazzled it just means I’m ready to snooze in my crate! If you leave me with some toys I’ll be very happy!

I’m still learning so much about human life so a patient person willing to show me the ropes and keep my confidence building is a must! My foster mum says I’m a very good dog with a ton of potential!! It would be great if I was to eventually get into a doggy sport !

At heart I’m really just a big softy waiting to please my forever friend.
