My story

If you’ve been searching for the ultimate cuddle buddy, your search ends here. Rex is a 10-month-old bundle of love, energy, and pure joy wrapped up in one lightning-fast, hug-giving pup. Let’s start with his favorite hobby: YOU. Rex is a certified Stage 5 Clinger (and proud of it). He doesn’t just sit next to you, he leans, snuggles, and even gives actual hugs. At bedtime? Expect a warm, wiggly shadow curled up right beside you. Personal space is overrated anyway. But don’t let the cuddles fool you... this boy has moves. Rex is agile, speedy, and full of spunk. He zips around the yard like a tiny athlete in training and would absolutely thrive in a home with a yard where he can stretch those speedy legs. Playtime, fetch, and zoomies are very much his jam. And food? Oh yes. Rex LOVES food. Treats, dinner, snacks, the occasional acorn on a walk. he’s highly food-motivated, which will make continued training a breeze. Speaking of training, Rex is still finishing up his puppy phase. He occasionally chews items left on the floor (so maybe your Nikes need to be out of his reach for a while), and if he drinks a little too much water, he may use a potty pad (he is very good/consistent with potty pads). With consistency, structure, and patience, he’ll continue maturing into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Rex would make an incredible family dog. He’s affectionate, lively, and deeply bonded to his people. He just needs a family willing to guide him through these last puppy months with love and direction, and in return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty, daily laughter, and endless hugs. If you’re ready for a fast-running, food-loving, cuddle-obsessed best friend, Rex is ready for you.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rex Orion, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
