This is one of those posts we really wish we didn’t have to write💔💔 Our adorable Rex had found himself a lovely home, but sadly, after a few months, he’s just come back into our care😔 His adopter is absolutely heartbroken, but she really tried everything to make things work. So, we’re hoping we can find this sweet fella the home that’s just right for him – please give him a share to help us find it🙏🙏🙏
Rex is a very handsome, 1-year-old Basset Hound X Collie – a “Basset Collie”, if you will! He’s a playful, energetic little character who loves having fun🎉
Unfortunately, Rex’s older, chilled-out doggy housemates were getting totally fed up with his antics, as he just wouldn’t stop trying to play with them. Rex did, however, get along fantastically with the younger, playful dog in the home who could match his energy. So we think he could happily live with another energetic dog who enjoys a good game. He’d also be perfectly happy as your one and only dog, getting all the attention and cuddles to himself🥰
And speaking of cuddles, Rex absolutely ADORES people. He’s super affectionate, very cuddly and just loves hanging out with his humans. He’s a quirky little character with a big personality, and he’s the sort of dog who will have you smiling at his antics every day😍
Rex can’t live with cats, and because he’s such a bouncy, playful fella, we’re also looking for a home without very young children – but he’s fantastic with kids over 8. He’s house-trained, great in the car, neutered, and so ready to belong again🥹
It’s such a shame that things haven’t worked out for Rex, especially when his adopter had grown so fond of him, but sometimes the right home isn’t necessarily the first home. We’re determined to find him somewhere that suits his fun-loving personality perfectly🐾 If you live in Ireland and think Rex could be the boy for you, please fill out our adoption form here:
