Rex - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Marion, Ohio

Can you believe this dog was found tied to a tree at Quarry Park? He had food, water, and even a treat left with him, but it still breaks our hearts that he was abandoned this way.

We're guessing his old name may have sounded like "Max." We always try to figure out if our strays know their names by rattling off common ones, and this guy's head whipped right around when we said it. Or maybe he thought he heard "snacks" and got excited, which honestly, same.

Now called Rex, this handsome boy has plenty of energy to spare! Like many shelter dogs, he can be a little amped up around all the kennel commotion, but once he gets out for a walk and away from the noise, he settles down nicely.

Rex is available for foster or adoption! He'd love to meet your kids and dogs, but his future family should be ready for an active companion who enjoys playtime, adventures, and plenty of exercise.

If you recognize Rex or know who may have tied him to a tree, please send us a message. If you'd like to foster or adopt him, please stop by anytime during open hours!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
